A Note from the Leader...

The girls have earned their "Healthy Habits" try-it patch in the month of October. They all worked very hard! If your daughter missed any of these meetings, please contact me... there could be other things they could do to earn this patch!

I have enjoyed our first month of Girl Scouts and am looking forward to the upcoming year! Thank you for sharing your daughter with me!

November 13 -- Recipes and Families

Tonight the girls brought in their favorite recipes! We will be making a cookbook for each girl to take home with them during one of our upcoming meetings. There should be some yummy ideas!!

We also talked about "family". What is a "family"? How many different kinds of "family" are there?? The girls drew pictures of their families, then we all took turns talking about who our families consisted of... we learned that there are small families and big families, families with step-parents or step-siblings, families with pets... the list goes on and on! Our project during this meeting was to make "coupons" for our family members. We were to come up with something that our family members would really appreciate, such as a coupon that is good for doing dishes for a whole week, or cleaning my room without being told... Check with your girl scout and see if she has a coupon for you!!

Our next meeting is December 11th. With December being so much fun and so BUSY, we will only be having this one meeting! Hope to see you there!!
