The Sewing Mom

We held the first day of tryouts for the 6th grade today for Destination Imagination.  We had 16 kids show up and I think it went very well.  We put them into groups of 4 and had them do two different improv ideas, one with props that they had to create and one without props.  We then asked them questions about the group members they worked with and had them write their answers down for us to review later.  We actually finished about 15 minutes early so we were able to do a question and answer session that I think went really well. 

 Thursday will be our second and final day of tryouts.  We’ve selected 12 of the kids for call-back and we will have them in new groups and new improv.  Then we will have them each do an individual activity.  I am looking forward to getting down to the final team.  We did scratch one girl off the list and now I’m thinking I would like her to come back.  I’ll have to see what I can do to change that.  Overall I think it all went very well!
