November Meeting ~ Considerate and Caring

We listened to a story about Zinni the Zinna. You can find the story here:  Zinni the Zinna- The Art of Sharing 

Then we practiced being caring and considerate by making Holiday Greeting Cards for the residents at the retirement home and for a group of military soldiers stationed in Afghanistan.The girls were required to share all of the art supplies and did an excellent job.  Finally, we practiced a few songs that we will be singing when we deliver the cards next month.

If your daughter was unable to make the meeting, choose 3 of any of the following activities and turn in an "I earned my patch" sheet.

• Make 2 cards at home for the retirement home residents or the military personnel and bring them to the December meeting.
• Read the Zinni the Zinna story and discuss it with a parent or adult.
• Practice using "Please", "Thank You", "Good Morning" and "Good Night" and try doing it without being reminded of it.
• Help a sick or elderly neighbor/friend/grandparent by visiting them, helping bring their mail in, giving them a call to say hello, etc.
• Donate a food item to a food pantry or a toy to a toy drive.
• Help your parents or siblings with one of their chores, without being told to do so.
• Read a story to a younger sibling or friend
• Draw a picture of yourself helping someone else. Discuss with an adult what you drew and why.

Look for picture updates from tonight to be posted soon.

Happy Thanksgiving!
