Rachel is, for the second summer, in an academic enrichment program called Summer Laureates. The kids learn academic concepts in a relaxed, camp-like setting. The topic this year? Flight.
Today she informed us that she had learned the concepts of lift, thrust, drag and weight. The kids made models of flying things -- Rachel's involved a drink straw and paper -- and she asked me when I picked her up, "Which would fly the farthest, Mommy -- the one with the smaller roll of paper in front, or the larger?" I guessed smaller, thinking of the nose of an airplane, and she told me I was correct. As for the rest of it, David, feel free to take over when we visit next month!
Also today, Rachel got a lovely birthday present from Aunt Anne and Uncle David -- a set of pastel oils, and upon receiving it she she jumped up and down and yelled, "I've ALWAYS wanted pastel oils!" (Who knew?) Thanks, Uncle David and Auntie Anne!
