2015-16 February 21st World Thinking Day

It was chaotic and loud but our girls took a tour of the world at this year's World Thinking Day. We displayed our awesome popsicle stick castle and tri-fold board for the United Kingdom.

2015-16 Meeting #13: 02/17/16

The girls were SO excited to get their Family Story books! They enjoyed a book signing and seeing their published artwork and family stories. We're so proud of all of our daughters!!

We also completed the final steps of the Inventor badge. Girls chose aspects of the Eastwood lunchtime that could be improved (e.g. quieter lunchtime, more milk choices for the 3rd graders who eat last each day, a door to recycling that doesn't always stay open, etc.), brainstormed solutions and worked as teams to write persuasive letters to Mrs. Hartshorn offering help and advice.

2015-16 Meeting #12: 02/03/16

At today's meeting the girls completed the badge for World Thinking Day. There were fun activities for the girls to complete to find their best qualities that make them good friends to others. Each girl chose a shape to represent their best qualities and showed off their shape to the troop. Our girls saw what Girl Scouts look like in other countries and we talked about how we are similar and different from one another.

We got to work on the Inventor badge. The creative juices were flowing . . . you can see that girls came up with dozens of ideas of how to make a circle more than a circle. We'll wrap up this badge at the next meeting.

2015-16 Meeting #11: 01/26/16

This meeting, the girls were busy working on their World Thinking Day project. Girls took turns reading their research questions about the United Kingdom and then explaining their answers to the others...very informative!

We watched a quick video of amazing sites in the U.K. and then listened to a song for Coulter's Candy. This catchy Scottish jingle will be our song for World Thinking Day.

We pulled out the markers, glue and popsicle sticks and designed our own castle to present with our trifold board. It was great to see each girl express her own creativity!
