Thanks for the encouragement. The reason I even posted was because it was such a nice boost to DDs self confidence. After a rough year in 4th grade she needs all the encouragement she can get.
I don't know which poem was sent, but I will post it here when I find out. She showed me 4 or 5 haikus and one more traditional poem and I'm not sure what was forwarded.
Jen

I think this is my first brag:
DD10's poem was selected from our state to a national poetry competition. We found out earlier this week about it and should know in April how she did nationally. Her teacher encouraged her to enter the competition after a classroom poetry assignment. Her classmates made a big deal about it at school (teacher was notified about the selection) which was wonderful to her self confidence.
Jen That's great!! Its always exciting when others notice how special your kid is!

So the topic of density came up tonight. This weekend the boys (DS3 and DS6) were watching a science show on the solar system. One of the graphics shows how Saturn would "float on a lake if there was a lake big enough." So they've been asking about density.
After talking about density a bit, DW did a good practical experiment tonight with oil and water. She had two glasses of about equal amounts and asked the boys which one was more dense. DS6 said water would be on the bottom, it is more dense. (Shows what I know!) Of course he got that right.
Then tonight at bedtime DS3 would talking to DW as they were snuggling in bed and said "Saturn is like the oil" (meaning it floats)
DS3 may or may not be gifted. If he is, it's a different type of gifted than DS6. But I was pretty amazed that he made that association.

JB,
It's very cool that your DS6 doesn't have an issue with including his little brother in these discussions. I agree that that is quite a connection for a 3 yo. Sounds like you have your hands full!
