schoolwork and a photo contest

morgana created a mandala from cut out construction paper left over from one of chanda's geometry lessons.

chanda worked on a crossword puzzle from her latest cricket magazine.



the finished mandala that morgana managed not to blow all over the room by laughing.

she also worked with geometric shapes . . 

and angle measurements. she's catching up with geometry lessons that i missed doing with her.

during the summer, chanda entered a photo contest through the cricket magazine subscription she gets. she chose to enter a picture she took during our summer visit to the metropolitan museum of art.

the photo was mailed from montauk in june, and we didn't have an easy time mailing it off! we had gone into town to print it out, but the printing store was closed. in front of the store i met a woman who was also wanting to visit the printing store. she had a printer at her home, but no printer paper. i had printer paper but no printer! so, for several sheets of printer paper she invited us over to her place to print out chanda's picture! 

we know the picture arrived at the magazine a day late, but luckily they still allowed it to be entered. chanda won third place along with two other children, and it was fun to see her pic in the magazine. you can view an upclose shot of it here.
