Polar Husky - http://www.polarhusky.com/home.asp I joined this expedition online with my Grade 1's in previous years and we loved it. Each child "adopted" one of the dogs from the kennel, and we went online 3 times a week to listen to the audio, view the video, or study a new portion of information available. Each child had a "Polar Husky.com" scribbler, and we documented with drawing and/or writing what we learned each day. Teachers and scientists participate in the race, which goes from Feb. 14 - March 1; 700 miles in length
