Daisy Uniforms

Starter kits were handed out yesterday to those that bought them. Please click here to see where to place the patches.

Also, you might notice that the number 1 is missing from the kit. They are on backorder and will be sent to me when they come in. If you are going to attach your patches now, just remember to leave a space for the number 1. :)

Also, for those parents who have not purchased your vests/kits yet, I will be making another trip up there before our next meeting, October 9th, and would be happy to pick either up for you while I'm there to save you the shipping cost. I believe the easiest way to do this would be to send your form through your daughter's folder to Lillian Wright in Mrs. Pacheck's class room 11. Please let me know if you have any questions!

I can't wait to see the sea of blue that will be at the next meeting! :)

Our First Meeting!

Hello Parents!

Welcome to the blog for Daisy Troop 1866! This is our way to communicate with you and show you what the troop has been doing. If you click on the pictures, you will see them full size. Feel free to save them for your own scrapbooks!

Everyone got to the room just fine. :) After having a talk with Kristen Stolzman, the head of VIK, it has been arranged that VIK will walk them over to the art room after they check in at the cafeteria. I already left a message with your teachers to let them know. :)

We started out by having each girl decorate and cut out a petal. They used their favorite colors and drew things that they like. They all did a great job!

Lauren started our time in the Daisy circle by leading us in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Then we introduced the Girl Scout Promise and sign. Miss Lindsey made a lovely poster of it to help us remember. Aubree and Abbie held it up for everyone to see. Once the girls memorize the promise, they will earn the center of their daisy flower! Please take some time at home to go over it with them before our next meeting.
Here's Bailee sharing her petal and stuffed animal with us. Each girl introduced themselves this way...we will do a little bit of this at each meeting to help the girls get to know each other. We also learned that it is okay to have more than one friend and sang the song, "Make New Friends."
Snack time included a toast to the new troop and a great year ahead!
The girls placed their petals together to make a daisy that is as unique as they are! Showing that alone they are special, but together they are a group of great girls, our Daisy Troop 1866!

We closed the meeting by learning a little about Juliette Low. We told her story a bit like a play...each girl had a part! This is when the giggles really starting rolling! We learned the friendship circle handshake and the song "I'm a Little Daisy!" See if they will sing it for you...it's really cute and will be sung at every meeting!

**The day after the meeting I walked Lillian to school. When we came up to the line, several new Daisies ran over and without being prompted, tried to say the Girl Scout Promise together! It was very cute and a good sign that they are excited about being a Daisy. :)
