Meeting Recap

As the girls arrived, we previewed Chapter 2 in our story books by asking the girls to draw what they would like to find if they were digging in a garden. We opened up our meeting with our Flag ceremony and then our circle. During circle we practiced our "I'm A Little Daisy" song and we reviewed who the main characters were in our story. Then we read Chapter 2 in our Daisy books. They were great listeners! We also practiced the girl scout promise. We talked about being honest and fair (light blue petal) again and to really drive home the message, the girls had an egg hunt. This egg hunt was tricky because each girl was allowed only 5 eggs and then they had to wait for everyone to have their 5 before they could check out their treats. Needless to say our girls did great! Not only did everyone collect only 5, but everyone helped each other find their eggs.

We came back inside after the egg hunt to start our 2 activities. Outside with Heidi, the girls planted grass seed in their own individual pots. This is the beginning of learning how to Be Responsible for What I do and Say (orange petal). Please water your mini garden everyday and make sure it is placed in a sunny spot. Inside with Brandi, we did a fun pumpkin sticker activity in honor of Halloween. The girls loved getting their hands dirty and dealing with the glittery stickers!

After snack, our Daisy sister Kayleigh surprised the group with our first patch! The BFF patch should be sewn on the back of the tunic on the upper right side, near shoulder. THANK YOU KAYLEIGH for thinking of all of us and we are proud to be your BFFs!

Upcoming events- We will be starting our own garden project as soon as we locate a vessel for it to grow in. Our investiture ceremony will be sometime soon (possibly December with a fun potluck dinner). Our girls will earn their blue circle (knowing the girl scout promise) for the daisy and their insignia with pins, and possibly a petal or two (all depends on what we get done the next couple weeks!). A field trip to Clayton PD and City Hall (Respect Authority - magenta petal) is scheduled for Oct. 27th at 3 pm. We will meet outside of the Clayton PD building at 2:45.

Homework - Please have your entire Daisy Journal completed up to page 31 and bring it to the next meeting.

Thank you again to Karen for arranging our new meeting place. The girls were so much more focused in a neutral territory and we really got a lot done in a short period of time.
