Destination Imagination





We held our first meeting of Destination Imagination and what fun we had. After talking about our TRIBES agreements we were put into pairs. Our Challenge; with 5 peices of newsprint and a role to tape we had to design clothing. We were being marked on Creativity of the clothing, the fit of the clothing and then just to make it interesting the least amount of tape. We had 3 minutes to make a plan and then 5 minutes to make our clothes. After that we had a fashion show for some parents that stopped by. Our parents could not come up with a winner but did comment on what they liked about our ideas. This club is all about working together to get something done but it is also about thinking about something that no one else will think of. We had to think on our feet, develop a plan and then make the plan work (follow through with our thoughts). After that Ms. Hendricks gave us another challenge. This time we did not build something but did some acting. We had to get rid of the ants, bee, and termites. The only thing that we had to make sure we included was where we were. That was the hard part. Team one got so excited with the play they did not mention the location but team two remembered the location. We are learning to pay very close attention to what the directions are. The pictures above a just a few of us getting our plan together.

The Calandar Challange by Kaitlyn and Jaidyn


We were given numbers in a bag and we needed to put them on the calandar. Jaiden said that this was hard because we needed to know the order of the numbers .  Kaitlyn was finished her work first so Ms. Nicoll let her help me (Jaiden said). We had to make sure that we had the right number under the right day. This was more fun than just writing the numbers because we had to find the numbers and then put them in the right spot. It was like a puzzle.
