Meeting #1 - Note to Parents

Last Tuesday we:

• Learned that we will begin each meeting with a “Daisy Circle”
• Talked about the first daisy Juliette Gordon Low - Her family called her Daisy (that was her nickname and Daisy Girl Scouts are named after her). When Daisy was a girl she loved to climb trees and swing on vines. She loved all kinds of animas, she even had a pet rabbit. When Daisy grow older she wanted Girls to have as much fun as she did. She wanted girls to grow up and be whatever they wanted to be in life. That is why she started Girl Scouts. The first Girl Scouts were in Savannah, Georgia. Now there are Girl Scouts all over the world.
• Learned that Girl Scouts are sister and they now have 9 new sisters.
• Learned the Girl Scout Promise sign and said the Girls Scout promise for the very first time (we will be practicing this every meeting)
• Learned a Daisy Song - with hand gestures
• Meet the flower friends and did a daisy petal craft (which was sent home)
• Talked about the uniform
• Learned about the friendship circle and friendship squeeze
• The girls all came up with what ours rules should be for when we meet (be a “bucket filler”, be kind, not touch the items in the classroom that does not belong to us, etc…)

Next meeting will be Tuesday 11/1/11.
Don’t forget to bring a snack and your vest/tunic!
