Jr. Fll Team Schedule
Welcome to Jr. First Lego League (FLL)! I am so excited to be sharing this time with you and to mentor your growth as a designer, builder and responsible citizen. Our school is the only Jf. FLL team in Vermont and we are the first Jr. FLL team in Vermont.
Jr. FLL will meet weekly, on Thursdays from 4-5:15, starting the first week of December. Each student should bring with them a bunch of legos, in a labeled container such as a zip lock bag or tupper ware container. We will be using these legos throughout our sessions together. Students should also bring a journal and a pencil or pen to make drawings, make comments and record research.
It would be great if families could download Lego Designer for use at home. http://ldd.lego.com/ If students have a lego mindstorms robotics kit, http://mindstorms.lego.com/en-us/default.aspx it would be great to bring it to practice sessions to work on programming behaviors into motors. I am committed to working with groups of students using this technology during Luke’s time at Schoolhouse.
I could use parent support to help arrange transportation for field trips to research and present our project. I could also use parent support to get team shirts designed and printed.
