Destination Imagination

This year Ella was chosen by her school to be a part of the club Destination Imagination. This is the first year Eagle Springs Elementary participated and Ella was excited to be chosen as 1 of the 9 kids from grades K-2. They have been practicing since November for their competition on March 1, 2014. The kids were given a theme "circus" and had to decide what type of circus they were going to perform and how to make the props, costumes, dialogue, ect. They were guided by Ella's first grade teacher Mrs. Petzold and the second grade teacher Mrs. Moreau. They met after school each week and put together this cute little performance. It was simple, but Ella loved being a part of the group and she was so excited to go each week.

The kids decided they wanted their team name to be "Smarties". One of the kids moms made the girls a "Smartie" headband to wear! Here she is on her way to perform!

Here she is at Humble High School which I went to as a teenager. It was a little strange to have her there!

Here they are gathering as a team!

The kids weren't supposed to have any help from the teachers, so the kids painted the clown faces on and helped with costumes.

Here they are practicing. They decided on a book circus, so they did different genres of books, Ella's book was Fairy Tales.

There were lots of much older students competing, so it was fun to see our cute little ones getting excited and showing what little creative minds can think of. 

 They did great! Their performance was simple and only about 6 min long, but at that age everyone got a medal for participating and they were happy enough about that! I am glad she was able to participate! She was grateful her Aunt Natalie and Grandma Speers could come watch and unfortunately Cavin had a soccer game at the same time, so we got it on video for the others! Way to go Ella!
