Now being a group of 14 girls, it's hard to control the "silly" outbreak. A little silly is OK, but a LOT of distracting silly kind of counter's what we are trying to accomplish. Alright, I don't mean silly, I mean obnoxious grab for attention....
We are going to talk about if FIRST in circle time and then see what THEY think should be done if a girl is totally holding things up. (Girl led choices). I really think that by having their peers make the call, this should streamline a few things.
:)
I have to make sure that everyone gets "their moment" so no one feels the need to aim for it.
Easter is early this year so... it is an Easter craft!
Early Bird Activity : Spring Coloring Sheets!
Circle Time
Julia Gordon Lowe Says (Like Simon Says) with some jumpin, hopping, etc. to get the wiggles out.
Talk about last meetings distractions and special skills. Why is "silly" not a special skill? How does that help anyone?
Does it cause problems?
What do you expect from us, as your leaders (we will make a list on the white board).
NOW, we get to list what we expect from them, as our troop.
(The girl scout law spelled out...highlighting #5, respect)
If a girl is NOT respecting all of us and kind of crosses that line, what should we do? (Girl led solution).
Just remember, we are a TEAM -- is there an "I" in it?
Nope

Theme of the day: We have skills and so do plants!During our last meeting,we paid special attention to a sister Daisy's special skills. Today, we will pay attention to our own! Choose a skill that you will use today....let's go around the circle and share which special skill we are going to use. We finished chapter 3 where Lupe and Clover started off talking about their feelings and then they met up with Sunny, who is helping clean the soil in Pittsburgh.
What if Clover hadn't said anything? What if Lupe hadn't said that everything was OK?Now- what do you think of Clover's special skill: cleaning the soil? Most people probably don't know that sunflowers can clean poisons from the soil!
What other plants clean the soil in the US?
Speaking of the US, let's talk about our flag!
