First: Alex's Knowledge Bowl team qualified to go to State. Ably assisted by Alex on answers such as "what subatomic particle in the lepton family can pass through a light year..." he buzzed in with the answer "neutrino". The rest of the question was "...of lead without hitting anything?" He's awesome in soooo many ways (as the clip proves).
Second: Took Daniel in for his assessment for the district homeschool program. He did well in reading, not too great in writing (no surprise there)..but what did surprise me
was that he did so well in math (supposedly 11th grade - but it must be 11th grade remedial...). After the test our advisor went to get his textbooks. She took a while but when she finally came back she could barely carry the armload of books. At first I thought she was also restocking her office, but no, they were for us. We ended up leaving 4 books there (we will go back and get them as he finishes up the ones he has). The pile was still pretty tall.
