Saturday was an exciting day. Hannah got involved with Lego League this year and they had their regional tournament on Saturday. Now if you are anything like me, I hear Lego and think the kids will be playing, well, that is far from true. According to the FLL website:
Elementary and middle-school students get to:
Design, build and program robots using LEGO MINDSTORMS® technology Apply real-world math and science concepts Research challenges facing today’s scientists Learn critical thinking, team-building and presentation skills Participate in tournaments and celebrationsThis video illustrates what the students have to do with the robots they design.
Three teams went to the tournament from Portville and there were 11 teams total. The top 4 teams would get to progress to the state level at a tournament in Rochester next Sunday. Hannah's team's robot did amazingly well, bringing her team into 2nd place. They were the only team from Portville who qualified to go to the state round. We were all so proud of them!
This is a busy week, lots to do to prepare for Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for all of you who continue to pray for and support me. May God greatly bless you! Nancy
