'12/13 Week 36 Day 2

Our pond is full of turtles. We see them all the time. What we see rarely, however, is a turtle far from the pond.
As the kids were outside this morning before the school (and before the heat), they found a snapper chilling in the middle of the field. Naturally, it took us a while to tear ourselves away from the turtle and settle down for studies.

Which went well. Things somehow took a while today, although both kids stayed focused throughout the whole day. Were the tasks longer? I do know, the chapter book that Andrew started reading for his Reading Practice, has longer assignments than any book we have had before. He is doing well. To help him out a bit during the day, I ask him to read the next day's pages the night before. Homework taking shape.
