The last few meetings, our Brownies have been working on their World of Girls Brownie Journey. It's been pretty fun. We read some neat stories and learned some things along the way. We learned that stories hold clues to all kinds of things and we have the power to change them too!
As we read about girls from around the world, we decided to make murals of ourselves using symbols and different colors for different things that shows us that we are all unique.
For example, based on how many siblings you have determines the shape of your nose. What you like to do determines what kind of hair you will have and the color of your eyes depends on how many pets you have. After that, the girls got to add a necklace to show symbolize what they like about themselves.
Here is a picture of our murals. You can clearly see how each one of them is special and unique.
We had fun going around and sharing ourselves and talking about the special parts of us!
Since we have been learning about girls all over the world and in stories, we even discussed Juliette Gordon Low and the challenges she faced when she was young, we decided on our Take Action Project. We decided that we would research a famous girl who made a difference and turn their lives into a patch for a quilt. Each girl would learn about somebody different and make their patch.
We talked about girls that they could choose from and got busy!
Here is a sample of the some of the famous women that we chose.
Although only about half of the girls got done, we will have to finish the quilt at our next meeting. We will put our patches together and display it outside our school library so that everyone can see how amazing all these women from around the world are!
Amazing just like our Brownies!
