SuperSmart Second Grader

Wm is officially done with first grade!!!  And, he came home with his report card and TerraNova testing results.  His report is GREAT and he scored in the 90th percentile overall on the TerraNova test - and 96th percentile in Math!  Wm is a super genius!!  I told Wm he scored in the 96th percentile in Math and I go, "that means, if there were 100 kids in a room, you would be better at Math than-" Wm interrupts and goes, "96 of them." And that's why he's a Math genius, I guess. He also figured out 200 divided by 4 in about 3 seconds. Definitely his Dad's kid.  Then, in the car on the way to coming in to work with me....

Wm: When I grow up, I have 2 jobs I want to do.  One, study space.  Two, study chemicals and potions.
Me: So you want to be a chemist?
Wm: Yes! A chemist.
Me: And do you want to GO to space and be an astronaut? Or just study space?
Wm: No way.  I'm not going anywhere.  I want to STUDY space from EARTH.
Me: Oh, then you'd be an astronomer.
Wm: Yeah...that. And a chemist.  A chemist and an astronomer.  Maybe I will study chemical and space together!
