Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is story of a girl who lives alone in the marsh land of North Carolina near a small town of Barkley Cove. Her parents and siblings leave home in her early childhood and she was left alone. She learns to read thanks to a friend and also becomes an author of several books related to birds and animals of marsh land. This book also has a mystery surrounding the death of a man where the marsh girl Kya becomes the suspect. The book has several poems and nice literary description of the marsh land. For those who love to read literature and are not looking for thriller or murder mystery book will enjoy this book very much.

FIRST Lego League Explore 2021-22 Season Cargo Connect

 

Today my daughter's team completed their first season of FIRST Lego League Explore by attending the festival hosted at Meridian World school at Round Rock. Seen above is the team showcasing their poster board showing their team's journey through the season and the Cargo Delivery vehicle they built using the WeDo 2.0 kit and the Explore set parts based on the season's theme of Cargo connect. The challenge was to improve the cargo delivery and the team's solution was to make a delivery vehicle that can automatically stop when it senses (via a distance sensor) an obstacle in its path. This is how we could improve the delivery of the cargo by making the delivery vehicle safer to drive.
