    The local water treatment plant is famous. It gets visitors from all over the world. My husband helped some tourists from Japan with directions to the plant.

    How about a play date to a WWTP? DD3.5 is also all into WWTP. She was really upset that she couldn't visit one. So I found this cool YouTube video. She has watched it only a million times smile hope your DS enjoys it too.

    DD (5) is teaching herself simple multiplication ...we got a yahtzee game and she loves adding up all of the numbers for both of us...she is really starting to see that four - fours equals 16. Sometimes she uses really interesting approaches to figure them out..."well, I know 4 x 5 is 20 and since 4 is one less than 5 and there are four of them, I subracted 4 from 20 to get 16". I am amazed by her ability to figure things out...

    It is only here that I can share this smile
    Ds(5), who is accelerated into gr 1, was formally tested by the school for reading after pointing out that the "readers" were far to easy and bringing in a book he had read that day at home. The gifted co-ordinator told me yesterday that his reading age came out at 13 (Neale analysis). His teacher has been great and suddenly we have appropriate books now and I think a new appreciation for the quietish student in his class (whose parents are not crazy after all) smile

    So-- the (highly) competitive high school internship program in science and engineering that my DD13 applied for? The one that takes promising high school students from around the region and places about 15-20% of applicants annually? The one where we had the SNAFU re: the application disclosure of her disability?

    DD landed not one, but TWO interviews (of four positions her info was submitted to)... which is pretty amazing regardless of age, since only about half the applicants even get ONE interview...

    and she GOT ONE. She just found out today that she's going to be spending her summer working full time doing research in a local university stats/computer science research lab!! She is giddy with excitement.

    I'm so proud of her!!

    cool
