My Great Day (and lots of other stuff!)

1) Fall Product:

We talked about sending the emails and how we want to use our money. 

For our troop: the girls are interested in going to Color Me Mine for our potters badge; horseback riding; and seeing a play. I will work on those over the next month to see how much and what I can get scheduled.

For others: the girls want to create homeless shelter bags again and find out what other needs the Isle of Wight Shelter needs, especially with the storm/water damage we just recently had. This will fulfill our Philanthropist badge, which is a person meeting the needs of others.

2) Pet Badge:

With Ms. Chappell not being next door, we took over her bulletin board and added these! :) We are just waiting for the shelter to send us pictures to add. The girls REALLY want to volunteer again at the animal shelter so look for another date over the next year.:)

3) Hiking Badge:

We planned our hike; planned our gear; and picked out snack! We are excited! See you all Saturday, October 17th @ 10 a.m. at the trail start across from Smithfield Station.

Hmmm...sideways?!

4) My Great Day Badge:

We talked about 5 things we can do to have a great day! Ms. Haley will laminate these for us so we can use them as a checklist each day!

Ha! Not sure why this is upside down. ;)

5) Me Posters! 

We worked some more on our ME posters in the art medium of collage. We added shirts today with paper-construction, scrapbook, and tissue. 

My Best Self Meeting

This was our certificate for helping with the luminaries at Relay for Life last June. Looking forward to supporting them again!

To earn this badge:

1) Get to know your body: We started by creating 'Life Sized Me's. This will be an ongoing project!

 

2) Eat and play in a healthy way: We danced for exercise. So much fun! 

3) Find out how your body works: We played symptom charades to discuss how our body shows symptoms to tell us that something is not right. 

4) Find out what to do if something bugs you: We wrote out things that make us happy or things we are grateful for to help boost our moods if we are feeling sad.  

5) Meet a health helper: We matched specialist doctors with their area of specialty.

Meeting # 13: Pets!

This badge was a lot of fun and I am so thankful we went to the shelter to complete it! That made my job so much easier. At the shelter, they suggested making a board of possible pets to adopt. The girls made these to display at CAES.
