Animals Around Us

At the last meeting we took a walk around the school to see if we could find animals, animal signs, animal sounds or animal houses.  The girls heard birds, found holes in the school garden that a small animal lives in and found animal food.  It was a beautiful sunny day, but it was also cold and windy.  We went inside to start a surprise project and read about animals from Japan.  Another fantastic meeting!

Our Easter Celebration

We dove into our Robin Award last Tuesday and read a story about animals from Mexico.  We also learned some new words in Spanish such as "queso" the Spanish word for cheese.  In one of the pictures below the girls are yelling "queso!"

We also talked about Easter, had a friendship egg hunt and decorated Easter bonnets with bunny ears. 
Each girl found three eggs and then helped their friends find the remaining eggs.  When the girls found every egg hidden in the room we made sure everyone had an equal amount of small candies and stickers.  This tied in to our "honest and fair" petal.

A huge welcome to our new Girl Scout!  We're very excited to have you in the troop!

This is our end of the meeting friendship handshake.  The girls love it and they take turns being the person that starts the handshake.
