November 9 wrap up

What a fun meeting!
We are so proud of the girls in this troop.  The meeting went great, girls were very supportive of one another during the team building exercise (passing a hula hoop down the line of girls while they held hands....see the slide show!) and sharing of the Family Star's that were created at home.  Most of the girls finished their "homework".  A few did not and a few were absent.  Always know, that we understand that life can get a little crazy from time to time.  So if the girls do not complete their "homework" it is okay!  Just have them finish and bring to a future meeting.  The girls that finished their Family Star earned their first "key" in the quest.  We will need for families to respond to either of us by e-mail or phone as to whether your daughter would like a patch to iron on a vest, sash, or t-shirt.  All girls will receive a sticker patch to add to the maps in their folders.  Speaking of folders......there are some important notes inside and more fun "homework". 

The last activity that the girls worked on today was coloring in a shrinky dink.  We will shrink the completed shrinky dinks into charms and have them ready to use as charms for either a necklace or bracelet.  A few girls did not finish and will have an opportunity to do so at the next meeting in December.

Be sure to check out the photo slide show to the right.  The older photos are at the bottom of the page.  Check those out if you haven't already.  They will not be available after the next meeting.

BIG Thanks to our snack shared by Madison.

  • provide any paper products needed (paper plates, napkins, cups, etc.)
  • if you bring a bottle of juice don't forget the cups
  • snack needs to be at school by end of day
  • snack can be left in the office if you want to drop off in the a.m.
Meeting consent form.
We will pass this out.  Please look for in your daughter's folder.  This needs to be filled out and returned to the classroom teacher.  This will work for the entire school year.  Teacher's have been notified to look for this form.

1st Meeting Wrap Up

What a fun meeting!

Ask to see the girl's packets that we have sent home.  Please have your girls bring the packet to each meeting.  It will help them to be organized and to participate.  We will add sheets accordingly from time to time.

Today we have sent home a "star"  Please read the page below for the instructions.  Have fun making your star.  Slip your star in your packet and bring with you to the next meeting, November 9.  We will have the girls share and then we will add to a poster board so that they can look over them at the future meetings.

November 2, 1st meeting

Our first official meeting is scheduled for this Tuesday, November 2.
Snack:  Abigail Cartwright
Parent Helper:

At this meeting we plan to start our "quest".  We will encourage the girls to discover their special talents and qualities.  The girls will also come home with some homework....fun homework.  I will have a link on this blog so that you can print out additional copies if you should need more.  Please have the girls bring homework to our next meeting, which is in one week.
