March 28, 2009 Katie, Jazmine, Cortney, Morgan, Breanna, & Lindsay had a Girl Scout meeting...it was sleeting & snowing. Morgan brought a Flat Stanley her cousin from Orion, IL had sent to visit her. The girls had fun playing with Katie's new miniature daschund Sasha Rose. Our New York pen pals sent us their flattened troop leader Diane. We drew names & she went home to visit Morgan. She has been staying at Katie's house.
The Brownies earned Building Art & Citizen Near & Far.
The Juniors earned It's Important To Me & Women's Stories.
We made scrapbooks for Girl Scout month. We also made more Flat Stacies, Breanna decided to send hers to visit her pen pal Milanne in New York. The rest of the girls opted to take theirs home. Deb made a couple of Flats to send to NY & TX, & sent each troop a Girl Scout Scrapbook, as well.
We learned about Hannah's Socks, a service project started when Hannah was 4 years old that has helped 3500 people in Ohio & Kay McLeroy, a woman in Mississippi who started a sanctuary for abused & mistreated big cats. She has 300 animals, spends $4200 a month on food for the cats, & $3,500 average a month on the vet bill.
We decided our perfect Girl Scout meeting place would have a rocket ship, museum, statues of Juliette Lowe & Jazmine & Breanna's mom, the Statue of Liberty, a club house, animal shelter, petting zoo, tree, farm, a plaque with the Girl Scout Promise & Law, limo, hot tub, pool, giant American flag, giant paper, a picture of all the Girl Scouts in the world, our own bedrooms, & a mall.
we tried a taking turns story about values....
Lindsay: money grows on trees
Jazmine: money everybody loves
Cortney: being a sister to every Girl Scout
Breanna: flying pugs that don't have motors or waste gas
Morgan: a witches eyes fall out
Cortney: hairy nose
Katie: I don't know.
Morgan: dogs clean eyeballs.
Our neighborhood would be better with a hotel, jail, mall.
Breanna thinks we need an amusement park.
Lindsay says a hospital.
Katie thinks an animal shelter.
Morgan says a jail.
Jazmine thinks a skyscraper.
Cortney says more bikes.
What is moxie? Moxie means energy, pep, courage, determination, know-how, and expertise-sometimes all rolled into one. A person full of moxie is one who has a lot of spirit mixed with skillfulness. (Another word for moxie might be 'guts').
we each thought of a superhero & her 'moxie':
Jazmine~Supergirl~water power
Morgan~Cat Girl~makes cats fall out of the sky like rain to save peoples lives
Lindsay~Elastigirl~stretch power
Cortney~Purple Girl~makes Morgan turn purple.
Katie~Ice Girl~freezes people, throw ice, make ice storms
Breanna~Pug Woman~she can be anywhere anytime of day; she can go back in time; she can see into the future
