St. Patrick and Iditarod
© Wayne Dawe
The first site that I have for you to visit is Facts page on St. Patrick. I decided to put this site first because it was one of the few sites that mentioned St. Patrick driving the snakes from Ireland. St Patrick's day and St. Patrick - Keypals Club International are two additional sites with St. Patrick information for you. If you still want more, then St. Patrick's day at teacherzone.com has a listing of sites of interest to every St. Patrick's day aficionado, not just teachers. To round out my St. Patrick's day sites, I offer you a leprechaun limerick by Justin that I found at kidpub.org. Oops, almost forgot one - don't miss Absolutely Green and its very nice kids section.
So now you're saying to yourself, is that it? Is he going to leave us with four measly links and one paragraph this week? Fear not, even though I've exhausted my St. Patrick's day sites for now I have some other great sites for you to visit.
Every March in Alaska a bunch of people get together to commemorate a sled dog trip to deliver vaccine in 1925 and recreate the original trip with a sled dog race from Anchorage to Nome. This year's race started on Mar. 7 and should run about 10 days so you're not too late to get involved. Iditarod '98 is a good site for kids about the race and Live video from KIMO 13 has video from the race start. As a tie-in to Women's History month at Suite 101, I'd like to draw your attention to Women in Alaska's history, Women of the Iditarod which features four of the women who have competed.
A mixed bag of links this weeks, but before I go I have one more extra
special link for you. One of our editors found this cute little talking
shamrock.
Then another
editor wanted to know what he was saying so I whipped this up. If
you have a Java enables browser you can find out too. Just be patient
after you click; depending on your modem speed it may take 10 seconds or
so before you find out the secret.
That's it for now. See you all next Tuesday. If you're a first time
visitor, don't neglect browsing through some of my other
