The girls have worked making flowers to represent the colors -as well as learning about each petal. They have been sharing examples, and practicing being a Daisy. Everyones favorite seems to be "caring and considerate" and we had many examples of that at the meeting today. We also VOTED today. The girls voted to have the end of the year field trip to the Downtown Aquarium! It was almost Unanonymous. Then they also all expressed interest in having a campout/cookout in my backyard with all of our families. The girls are also trying hard to twist my arm for a girls scout sleepover that same night. We will see just how INSANE i really am. While we were in circle the girls also learned a new song and we practiced the girl scout handshake. When we were done meeting the girls got cupcakes (thanks tiffany!) and played on the playground. As they left they shook hands (the girl scout way) with me or tiffany and received their petal patches and a laminated copy of the promise and law so they can memorize it by the end of the year. (they are doing great with both!)
Here is the song to sing/practice.
I'M A LITTLE DAISY
(Tune- I'm a Little Teapot)
I'm a little Daisy, dressed in blue
I am a Girl Scout, you are too
When I go to meetings, I sing and shout
I love being a Daisy Girl Scout!
Here are some photos from our meeting today.
We walked from the school to the park. It was overcast while we walked, but still warm. The girls picked up trash on our way to help our community and earth. I was actually surprised at how much they collected.
circle on the hill. Sonja B was taking photos for me.
I had asked the girls to pair up so they could practice the girl scout handshake - and it turned into dancing instead - which was just fine!
the dancing was much more fun and expressive then a handshake!
