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!

Welcome back 2014 Claxton FIRST Lego League!

First practice THIS Friday – August 22

Thanks to everyone who got their registration in early, we are ready NOW with our field kits!

Friday will be an ALL HANDS ON DECK practice.

In an ideal world we will have at least 10 adults at practice
on Friday to manage building.

Practices moving forward Monday & Friday – we pick the kids up in the gym after school and will be done at 4:00.  Please make sure kids know NOT to take the bus home on Monday and Friday.
