It was the Tuesday after MLK. Snow was predicted and we were instructed to leave as soon as students were dismissed. I had 1/2 of the team asking me to check to see if we were advancing to state. Nothing had been posted. I once again gave uplifting support and we all packed up to head home. School was cancelled and I happened to check that night and our team was advancing. Pretty cool to know a rookie team of six 5th graders would be compete against teams with students who could be 14 years of age.
State is a whole new level. You register to compete. All forms are submitted online. All ducks are in a row so to speak. If you have not saved a copy of the team sheet, recreate it because even it will be uploaded to a specific site/email address. Dates are steadfast and if you do not complete everything by them, there is no one to follow up. We had maybe a week and a half due to inclement weather and everyone's schedules to gather all materials to rally for state. We posted surveys to Twitter along with an online presentation. We upped our project display. We practiced over and over with what we had already learned from each judging room.
