Last Meeting

Wow!  Our last official troop meeting is Tuesday, May 24.
At our last meeting we completely underestimated the projects and the amount of time we had to complete them.  We will finish the projects at the last meeting.  The girls will make a total of three projects, one which we will donate to the Share Fair (Thursday, May 26)

PLEASE pick up on time, we both have activities immediately after the meeting.

We promised the girls to post the two polymer clay books that we referenced for the projects.  If you are interested in doing some polymer projects here are a few basic tools that I would recommend:  a ceramic tile (great surface to work on), a roller (you can buy an acrylic roller or cut a piece of PVC pipe), some basic tools (at local arts and crafts stores...Michael's and JoAnn's), a dedicated pan to cook in (you will not want to use this pan for food again).  Feel free to contact Kristi at kristiwodek@gmail.com if you have any questions. 

We will post the sheets from the foreign language meeting a few weeks back.  And.....some more pictures.

Meeting Cancelled

The meeting scheduled for Tuesday, March 21 has been cancelled.

Have a wonderful Spring Break!
See you next month.

Try-It Page Added

We have added a page to the pages listed at the top of this blog....."Try-Its"  The girls looked through the Try-It book and these were some popular choices.  The Try-Its we have added to the page are the following:

Animals
Art  to Wear
Building Art
Dancercize
Movers
Numbers and Shapes
Outdoor Adventurer
Sound of Music
Write Away

There are many more choices and if your daughter would like to work on a different Try-It please have her speak with one of us and we will get it scanned in and added to the page.

More pictures to be added soon!

Updates

A big Thanks to Amy Kane for her help at the February 8th meeting.......parents are always welcome!  As Amy, Tammy and Chris will tell you....be prepared to jump right in, we will always have something for you to do!  Thanks again!!!!

A couple of parents were asking today about where to put the "science in action" badge on their daughter's sash or vest.  I have included a visual from the Girl Scout website on the "Helpful Resources" at the top of the page on this blog.  Click on the tab and scroll down to the drawing.  Typically, you would put the "try-it" badges on the front of the vest or sash.  The back is usually for the fun stuff like the badges from selling cookies or going to girl scout camp, etc.

Please check the calendar and snack schedule.  We are looking for parent(s) to help out with snack for the meeting scheduled for March 22.  Please let Kristi or Liz know if you are interested/available.  Thanks a bunch!

Cookie sales have been going great.  Liz worked this past weekend on getting the orders ready to be handed in.  THANK YOU Liz!!!! 

Thanks again for your support and sharing your delightful daughters!!

P.S.  I will update photos soon.....promise!!!!

Science in Action

Whew!  We did it.  The girls turned in scientist for the brownie meeting today and after participating in four activities they earned their Science in Action badge!!!  Again, a VERY successful meeting.  Big Thank You to Tammy Kolberg for helping out in a huge way once again!  Chris Cairns for being oh so flexible and filling in when Olivia Wodek (Wren's big sister) got hit with the flu bug.   The girls were very excited about their activities and I promised that I would put the instructions to their activities on the blog so that they could show you at home.  The activities are relatively easy and the supplies....well you might just happen to have them in your house.  Check them out.  You will be inspired....as we continue to be by these bright, wonderful girls!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope everyone has a fun filled sweet Valentine's Day.

If you didn't hand in your cookie order please do so today!

And......our next meeting is tomorrow, February 15.
Girls will earn a badge....Science in Action.

See you tomorrow!
