friday work

chanda and i began the day keeping an eye on the men trimming the mulberry trees. they came early this year, because they had to take out the pine stump (which is now gone, so we missed yarn bombing it. morgana had come up with a good idea for teeth, eyes and nose.)

the branches had grown very close to the apartment across the way. they could have reached out and decorated them as a christmas tree, i think!

morgana began her day reading dune boy. it's a book for her botany block. i think she's enjoying it a little more than rural hours. it has a story to it, and describes the author's childhood growing up with his grandparents in indiana.

chanda decided that her morning reading was going to be the purloined letter, by edgar allan poe (!)

morgana and i also worked on grammar from the essentials of english, book ii. chanda created a few more valentine cards to send to family, after working on her math.

and chanda also practiced a few ballet combinations. she has two auditions this weekend: one for the gelsey kirkland academy of classical ballet, and one for dances patrelle's spring production.
