OMG DONE \o/
Mar. 16th, 2009 11:16 pmThey're not long, but I think they're a decent enough length, and at least he has something he can TURN IN.
His chosen books: one on snakes that he's had for a while and read enough times through that he really only needed to skim through it, and then we did the other on "Young American Revolutionaries: John, 1775", which is based loosely on John Nicholas and the events that led up to Williamsburg and colonial Virginia's involvement in the American Revolution.
THAT book was 134 pages...that I read.out.loud. It took me about three hours to read it outloud; if I'd just read it to myself I'd have had the damn thing done in half the time, if that. However, THAT would've been doing his homework, and I'll be damned if we're going to go down that path.
Couldn't get my printer to work, so I ended up emailing the files to his teacher, and hopefully that will be okay.
But--DONE! DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE!!!!! \o/ \o/ \o/
(Thank you all, too, for the commiserating and whatnot *g* And this weekend we're getting one of those big Write Boards that I can make into a two month calendar, and goddammit, things like this are going to be POSTED.)
