Teams!

At our last practice, kids found out who makes up their teams. The rundown is below. Each kid also came up with a word starting with the same letter as their name that they think is a quality of a good team. We won't spill the beans here, but ask them to explain how or why their word fits!


   Team 3849 Team 4010
    Ainsley -- Awesome                                  Anna -- Attentive
    Ashton -- Attentive  Attia -- Awesome
    Bryce -- Brave  Graham - Great
    Cashion -- Careful  Harper -- Happy
    Charlotte -- Creative  Isaac -- Intelligent
    Eva -- Enjoy  Jackson -- Judgement
    Fiona -- Fun  Margaret -- Marvelous/Mindful
    Hudson -- Helpful  Melena -- Magnificent
    Mateo -- Meaningful  Sally -- Significant
    Will -- Wonderful

We know everyone's busy studying the challenge, so here's a handy picture of the table to help with understanding the missions (click to make it bigger or get the original here):

World Class Challenge is Released!

Today is challenge release day!  Follow the link below to download a copy of the challenge.  Kids need to look at the project information (pages 2-5) and the Missions (pages 26 – 29) before practice on Friday. 


Of course, they can read the whole thing and/or have a look at the videos as well.  We will be going through the mission video in particular as a group as we get the table is all set up and ready to go.

Also, we asked kids to bring in a folder/binder (with pockets) for FLL.  If they can get those before Friday, that would be ideal.

See you on Friday!
