Jonas was on a Destination Imagination team this year. His team was coached by Tom and also included Ethan (one of Jonas’ best friends and also a 3rd grader) and MacKenzie and Makaylee (two precious 5th grade girls he’s known from our neighborhood since he was little).
Destination Imagination is a way for kids to learn through the steps of the creative process…recognizing the challenge, imagining ideas, initiating the project, collaborating to discover solutions, assessing and evaluating the outcome, and celebrating the experience.
Jonas’ team, Mack E. Jo, placed first in the Regional Competition!!! They moved on to the State Competition, where they placed seventh. Not bad at all for the first time around for everyone!!!
A big thank you to Tom for putting in so much hard work, coaching this team every Monday night throughout the school year. And a big congratulations to Jonas, Ethan, MacKenzie, and Makaylee for their creativity, team work, and stick-to-it-iveness.
Here are a few pictures of Jonas from the Drop Zone challenge…
