Ask Your Daughter about Chris Smith and Aircraft Carriers

This is the best way to learn a vocabulary word, and it is all because of Parent Conference Day. Getting to know all of you Fourthie parents is so much fun. On Conference Day, I was fortunate to learn that Chris Smith used to be Lieutenant Commander Smith.  This was just in time for this week's vocabulary word, carrier, referring to aircraft carrier.  The girls learned first hand from Charlotte's father all about aircraft carriers and the pilots who land on them. Now, they know what is involved in taking off and landing on this runway in the sea. So amazing! The girls were riveted, and I am sure we have a few who might think this would be a cool career.  An added bonus--Chris told them that he had to memorize his emergency flight manual and how he did it!  Make sure and ask your girls.  You can't Google in the sky!  Some things you just have to know. Thank you so much, Chris, for a great morning!
