Earlier this week, it got very, very cold. Rachel was pretty miserable walking to school, as I was walking her to school (neither of us had dressed as well as we should have), and she kept saying, "I HOPE we don't have outdoor recess!" I couldn't blame her.
Then she outlined a plan for avoiding outdoor recess: Ask to be excused to go to the bathroom, then camp out there until recess was over -- and then go to lunch. I probably should have told her not to do that, but, I couldn't help admiring her for her ingenuity.
As it turned out, they didn't have outdoor recess. Also that day, Rachel's class got a visit from someone who works at the Jamestown settlement to talk about Colonial times. His name was Sam, and he let Rachel's teacher wear a buckskin outfit. And because Rachel answered a question correctly -- she said the Indians gave the settlers corn -- she got to try on a buckskin skirt. Which immediately made her want to go to Jamestown, and she told Drew that night that she wants us to go there for Spring Break. So, we're working on it.
