Ever wonder what home schooled children actually do? Joyce Stewart of Churchville submitted this photo of her daughter, Samantha Stewart, with her end of year home-school project, called a Tetrahed. Samantha built this Tetrahed to prove that it is the shape of an object, not what it is made of that makes it strong. Samantha's Tetrahed is made of sheets of newspaper tightly wrapped around a toothpick, eighteen inches cut from the middle of this wrapped stick. These sticks are then taped together to form diamond shapes. These diamonds are taped together by sevens to form a layer. Then the layers are taped one on top the other. Shaped as diamonds they hold layer after layer.

Samantha, age 11, is home-schooled be her parents, Harold and Joyce Stewart. They say this is one of many new and different things they have done this year as a Home Schooling Family.
