This is the 3rd out of the last 4 lessons we've scheduled that has gotten rained out, unfortunately. Today, I learned about the four forces that work on the aircraft during flight and some really basic aerodynamics. From studying on the internet and other materials, I pretty much knew all of this before I reported to Palwaukee Flyers yesterday.
I did learn a couple new things, though, like a basic understanding of talking to ATC and the two types of drag (parasitic and induced). The next two flights are scheduled for Friday and Saturday, in a Cessna 172 and a Beech Sundowner respectively.
Both days show somewhat negative weather forecasts. :(

Rock,
Don't let the bad weather forecast get you down. It sounds to me like you are doing the right thing in scheduling as many flights as possible. I just started lessons early in May and I solo'ed last Tuesday! I think you will find that scheduling flying as much as possible will keep the smile on your face, and prevent you from having to re-learn stuff from the previous lesson. My only word of caution is that you stay aware of information "overload" if your flying and groundschool get to be too much stuff to process all at once.
I wish you calm winds and clear skies!
Michael
