Birthday Bags

 We had a few girls who stayed after school to help assemble the Birthday Bags for the Food Pantry.

 We have a total of 13 bags to donate.  THANK YOU to everyone who brought items in!

Walk Your Child to School Day

Wednesday, October 3rd was Walk Your Child to School Day at Fair Park.  I ran into a few Daisy Scouts that morning before we started the trek to school.  Way to support your school and get some exercise!

October 1st meeting (Financial Literacy Leaves & Birthday Bags)

Today we worked on earning our Financial Literacy Leaves.  We talked about the upcoming Nut Sale and money {coins}.  They each got to pick up the different coins and we read a poem about each one and how to identify them.  They did bring home a few worksheets if you have time to go over that with them.  We also talked about wants and needs.  Do you need clothes?  YES!  Do you need a video game?  NO!  We also discussed if certain activities were free or if they cost money.  Going to the library-free.  Going to the movies-cost money.  They also received a coin book that they are able to fill with pennies, etc.  I told them to fill it up and tell me at the next meeting if anybody was able to fill theirs up.  They can do chores to help earn money.  It was just something fun for them to have!  :-)

They decorated bags for the food pantry's birthday bags.  They also learned The Banana Song.  Ask them about it.  There are movements to go with the song.  It was FUN!

{I was able to snap some pictures today-YAY!}

 That is my other daughter in the picture in case you were wondering.  My husband picks her up during snack time.  Hopefully, she'll have her own Daisy troop here soon.  (crossing fingers)

 Here are the bags that the girls decorated with drawings and stickers.  They did both sides of the bag.

 Nice job girls!

 Singing The Banana Song.

 GOING BANANAS!!!

The closing song.  Make new friends...

First meeting of 2012-2013

 I forgot to take pictures at our first meeting.  These were snapped after the meeting was over and we had a few girls left.  The girls made a zipper pull according to the worksheet they had.  For example, if you have brothers, you could add a red bead.  If you have pets, you could add a yellow bead, etc.  Everybody had a butterfly charm and their intitial.  I think the girls enjoyed making them.  The other part of the worksheet was finding somebody who had the same colored beads as you, but, we didn't have time for that.  We took the BIG beach ball outside and tossed/rolled it to everybody and they had to answer the question that their right thumb landed on.  Just a way to find out about each other.
