I'm sure you're all as excited as I am to get started! This Destination Imagination (DI) page is meant to help us communicate with each other outside of our scheduled meeting times Fridays 1:45 - 4:30. |
Sept 11, 2015
With our first meeting under our belt I wanted to make sure that I shared with you the 5 Central Challenges for DI this year. As I mentioned on Monday we need to be thinking about which challenge we are going to select. Remember this is something that you need to think about without any outside help. I've attached the previews below. Come ready on Friday to discuss the challenge of your choice!
Have fun!
