We rearranged our crabitat again, using a basket-thing we bought at the thrift store and baked in the oven to kill any germs on it.
One big shell for salt water, one for fresh, several empty shells so the crabs don't feel compelled to kill each other for their shells, some dry food, a basket to hide in and all that makes it a pretty happy place (for crabs).
The crabs took to climbing the new basket-thing right away!
These are pretty fun pets if you ask us.
"...the child should have a set time everyday to read for fun. Begin with half an hour for first graders, and build up to an hour of reading time daily... This is an important part of the child's education: it improves his reading skills, teaches him the habit of sitting still with a book, and reminds him that reading is fun... free reading ought to be spent on literature at or slightly below the child's present reading level so that he can simply enjoy himself. The easier reading will help him increase his speed." The Well Trained Mind: The Guide to Classical Education at Home by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer
