Instant Challenge Day
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.
