Back to School
Why is it so hard to start back to school after a two week break? You would think two weeks for be plenty of time to feel rested and renewed, ready to get back to work. I'm beginning to think two weeks is too long, it seems to have put us all in summer mode in the middle of winter.
Today is definitely going to be a half day. I successfully dragged Sophia out of bed at 9 a.m. after numerous reminders of how she could have been freezing her little toes off at the corner bustop a full two hours prior. Molly took some encouraging too (aka nagging), all i require of her this early is that she read in bed her lit book for an hour, oh she has it so tough! First stop for Benny and Sophia was our animals and Their Worlds program by WinterPromise. Today was our first day in the Arctic region. We read, drew and watched a video. Now we are on break. Oh first days are tough! For English today, thank you notes for Christmas gifts. I can't even think about math today!

What I Am Reading Now
Great Epectations by Charles Dickens. I'm really enjoying this. I read it years ago but am enjoying it again. Here is a summary from the folks at Wikipedia:
Great Expectations is a novel by Charles Dickens. It was first published in serial form in the publication All the Year Round from 1 December 1860 to August 1861. It has been adapted for stage and screen over 250 times.
Great Expectations is the story of the orphan Pip, writing about his life (and attempting to become a gentleman along the way). The novel, like much of Dickens' work, draws on his experiences of life and people.
The main plot of Great Expectations takes place between Christmas Eve 1812, when the protagonist is about seven years old (and which happens to be the year of Dickens' birth), and the winter of 1840.
