So Much Fun!

Jackie had so much fun today at American Heritage Girls!  For one it was a HUGE crowd again. We are combining with the younger girls for 1 badge which will take a total of 3 weeks to complete.  Native American badge.  Then to go to a recreated Indian village, SunWatch Indian Village and Archeological Park.    

Anyhoo we had a long wait in the gym before we left the school, Jackie was finishing up a test on the computer and there was a girl who had accidently forgotten and got on the bus...when she came in I don't know what came over the girls but you know how once one of them gets an idea they all jump on??? Well some girl ran up to her screaming and throwing her arms around her neck hugging her "JACKIE!!!!" and within like seconds 10 more girls, screaming like groupies, were running up to her hugging her! ROFL!!!!!!!!!  It was the funniest scene ever but of course I'm sure she loved it.

Today we signed "Thank You" cards that we will mail to our local Veterans.  We then watched an 8 minute segment of a DVD from the library about The American Flag to complete part of their "Our Flag" Badge.   They then made small bowls for jewelry or coins out of clay which we will paint next week during our meeting.  Then to do a better job of learning about Native American picture writing I found something out of a much more age appropriate book to share with them and they worked in pairs and I demonstrated on a white board.  The room we are in is awesome! It has a large flat screen TV mounted to a wall, a refrigerator, a kitchen sink, tons of space, 2 large tables, and about 30 soft covered chairs! Plus it's very bright.

Next week we are going to paint our bowls, play a Native American game, sample some pumpkin pie ice cream or some small treat and continue working on Our Flag.  The girls also led the flag ceremony this week.  We had a blast! No pictures, I forgot my camera!!!!
