Noah is 12

Noah celebrated his birthday in Noah style:  helping with the cake in the morning, eating lunch with two robotics partners, playing in the basement, jumping at AirTime, and completing the day with sushi, another cake, gits and of course a quick wrestle with Dad.  When Bob put Noah to bed, Noah said: "I am happy." Could not ask for any more...

Year End Celebration

On Monday evening, we celebrated the end of the school year for CC.
Noah was recognized for his Memory Master achievement. He participated with all the other Foundations and Essentials children as they sang the Time Line Song.
Lukas drew Asia on a white board while some of this classmates presented a Fallacy skit.
This marks the end of an era for our family, we no longer will have any children in Foundations and Essentials. The Severinghaus family is facing the Challenge!

Sunglasses

The sun is finally showing up, and Noah took extra precaution to protect his beautiful green eyes.

Just an ordinary school day

Bob and Noah talked calculus using the white board, marker and string. Lukas drilled Latin vocabulary words and polished a paper. Just an ordinary school day when everyone is feeling a bit under the weather.

Confused calendar

April 22, 2015 and snow - does not make sense... we are truly confused.

Dissection

On Monday, Lukas and his fellow classmates in Challenge A dissected sheep hearts and pigs. After the initial 'ick' factor, all of them along with their attending siblings, dug in - pardon the pun. They poked, prodded, cut, snipped, sliced and diced, explored and observed.  The weeks spent practicing drawing and labeling body systems were bearing fruit, Lukas was able to identify and observe much.
Noah's major job was to take pictures and he performed beautifully. At one point, he did sit down to cut and prod but preferred his photojournalism role in this seminar.

Robo Raiders do it again

Robo Raiders Jr team competed in late March and captured first prize in the local competition. Robo Raider Sr competition was held on Saturday. Lukas had battled a bad case of the flu/cold all week and worked on 'fumes and medicine,'  yet wanted to test out the robot and see what it could do.  After two rounds, much waiting, some reprogramming and adjusting, the Robo Raider Sr team took home third place!   The team had already agreed that regardless of outcome this was the one and only competition for the season. Relieved, surprised, overjoyed Lukas headed back home to rest - after a quick stop at a local ice cream parlor for a blizzard.

Two teams, two award placements, one coach - maybe the coach is the secret sauce? Well done, Bob coaching, tutoring, encouraging, equipping and prodding the teams to produce their best!
