My Daisy Kaper Chart!


* NO, not EVERY post will be about Girl Scouts!  :-) *

It's not perfect but it works! (Need a petal near the stem)
 The girls picked either a butterfly, a bee or a ladybug from a template I made on the computer. They colored them and I glued a photo of the girls for the face. The bugs and the petals have velcro dots to attach them so that they are easy to move around. 

                The middle of the flower is the "leader helper" spot.

Girl Scout Promise!
The 10 laws!

I bought "grass" from Michaels and then hot glued
each piece to the board.

Beach Clean Up

My Favorite part of Girl Scouts?  Service Projects! It was raining today and so very few people showed for this Beach Clean Up.  The park rangers admitted to being disappointed when they saw our crew of 5 to 8 year olds. But the girls worked for over TWO HOURS nonstop and cleaned up the entire area. I was SO proud of the girls and very pleased to hear the praise and surprise from the Ranger's. "We'll be inviting the Girl Scouts again in the future for sure." they said. What a way to represent! 

Messy Job! 



Yay! Another Badge! 

There were literally THOUSANDS of cigarette butts that they picked up. We're thinking of making it our TAKE ACTION project.

Girl Scouts!

The girls finally started Girl Scouts and they and I are LOVING it. I decided to put Aidan in Brownies and Ainsley in Daisies. (They don't care what grade level Aidan is in since she's homeschooled.) I am the co-leader of Ainsley's Daisy troop and the helper Mom for Aidan's troop and except for my propensity to overextend myself...  I think I'm going to love this year! 



 Their 1st service project was to participate in the Tunnels for Towers run in downtown Savannah.

First Field Trip


For our 1st school field trip we went to the Planetarium with the homeschooling group!

Watching a show about the planets.

Using their bodies to show the distance from the sun.


Safely looking at the sun.
