Being Considerate and Caring!

(I apologize that I forgot my camera for this meeting)

 

On May 6th, we met to earn our green petal on being considerate and caring.  We did so many fun things.  First off, we read about Zinni, a flower from the daisy garden and how she was considerate and caring.  We played a game of charades where we had to guess the feelings that each girl was acting out.  Some were easy like happy, sad, mad, but some were harder too like scared, nervous, and proud.  After that, we practiced the art of listening.  The girls were partnered up and one partner went into the hall while the other one hid a special object in the room. When their partners came into the room, the othe girl had to give directions on how to find the special object.  The girls had to listen carefully to find it.  Then we switched.  We also practiced the art of sharing.  For this, the girls sat in a circle each with a piece of paper and a crayon.  They each started drawing a picture and after 30 seconds, they passed their papers to the girl next to them.  After another 30 seconds, they switched again.  This went on until the girls got their own papers back. It was neat to see how their drawings had grown as we shared them around the circle.  Finally, as a way to show we care, we made thank you cards for our teachers because it was also Teacher Appreciation week and we wanted to make them feel special too!
