Homeschool on the Run!

I just came back to my blog after a long hiatus.  I have 433 spam.  How depressing.

Tomorrow is Destination Imagination Instant Challenge day and I am packing our snack bag.  It’s been so long since I blogged and so much has happened. Rather than recounting what we have done I thought I would just start again.

Instant Challenge day is held at Masuk Highschool, a large highschool in Monroe, CT.  I helped organize the challenges last year and I remember the classroom I was assigned to.  It was an advanced calculus classroom.  Very bland, stuffed with steel desks and chairs with the occasional mass produced poster on the wall.  Math is fun…trust me.  I felt like I was in jail.

I prepared our little Rising Stars team of 5-7 year olds.  I explained to them what they would see in a school designed for teenagers.  Most of these kids have never seen a school.  This little team is going to go from room to room doing little building assignments and skits where they have to solve a problem.

Chuckles and her 3 team mates are in the Middle School category.  Their challenges are more technical.  They will be making launchers, sorting machines and bridges. Chuckles can’t wait.

I need to get a good sleep too.
