August 18th Imagination Journey

My gratitude is heartfelt for all the faculty and staff who helped to plan, organize, set-up, and execute a fabulous Imagination Journey for our Dolphin Imagineers on the first day of school! After the read-aloud of our August Book-of-the-Month, The Spyglass, students were greeted with creative displays and engaging invitations to "Estimagine" how many animal crackers were in a jar, imagine what was inside a collection of boxes using only their sense of touch, imagine what they saw in an optical illusion, imagine how many minutes had to be run to burn off the calories contained in a Hershey candy bar, and imagine how many people they could feed by playing the Free Rice vocabulary game online. At the end of a fast-paced 45 minute journey, students were surprised in the Media Center with their very own Imagine the Possibilities spirit T-shirts. This team effort resulted in a memorable first day for every student!
