    this morning my 8 year old dd was talking to me, usually she is very girly about stuff and the subjects she wants to talk about reflect that, but this morning as I shifted my attention to what she was telling me I realized that she was talking about biomes, two different types, and how their weather patterns differed..

    First day of school DD's teacher at OOD spec Ed school decided they needed a "class motto". Off the top of her head DD10 suggested "We walk the road of individuality yet we are all one."

    Walking around the school during yesterday's ice cream social I saw this is now hung outside the classroom door, quoting DD as if it were from a famous historic figure. She doesn't see what all the fuss is about...

    DS-almost-4 on having built a 3D structure out of magformers that looks convincingly like an imperial star destroyer from Star Wars:

    "It looks deceptively like an imperial star destroyer, but it's actually an abstract representation of Luke Skywalker."

    Your first grader is selected to represent his school at the State Legislative Education Day to lobby for gifted programs. He will be meeting with the Senator and Representative from our district as well.

    When your 8 year old DD manages to startle the Professor of Astrophysics at Oxford University by asking him about the effects of dark matter and dark energy on gravitational microlensing and detecting transits when searching for planets laugh I'm sure he thought she was going to ask about kittens in space
