Daisy Meeting Four: Yellow Petal - Friendly and Helpful

Daisy Meeting Four: Yellow Petal - Friendly and Helpful

This week we focused on Friendliness and Helpfulness with the help of Sunny the Sunflower. This is the 2nd of 10 petals the Daisies are going to earn throughout our journey.  

We began our meeting by awarding each Daisy with their blue petal for Honesty and Fairness Certificate from last week! We also had a pinning ceremony for the "Promise" they made which is representative of the middle blue circle of the daisy. The girls were thrilled to receive their Daisy Blue Vest, along with their pin/certificate. 

 

The Daisy Petal Patches have been purchased and will be kept on file in an effort to keep them all in tact. (If you lose one, a whole package must be bought). We will perform a ceremony at the end of our GS year in which all petals will be put onto their vests. 

**If you wish to have these petals and iron/glue them on, please notify either Crystal or Christine and we would be happy to send them home with your Daisy. 

In an effort to demonstrate how each Daisy could be helpful during our GS meeting, our Kaper Chart was utilized so that everyone could be helpful. 

This weeks reading was "Stone Soup", by Marcia Brown which is an old folk story in which hungry strangers compel the local people of a town into sharing their food. The helpful people who each provide one edible ingredient turn what begins as stone soup, into a delicious soup for all, delivering a message that by being friendly and helpful, the outcome will always be better than the opposite. 

Our Activity for this week was to create our own version of stone soup by using our imaginations and helpful suggestions with each other about what ingredients to put in our soup. 

                                                          

After the friendship squeeze each girl went around the circle to give an example of what it meant to be helpful. We ended the meeting asking each girl to do something "helpful" for someone before our next meeting and report back. 

We can't wait to hear how our Daisies have been helpful. 

Our Daisies set out to be more helpful at home, school, and in their community.  

Way to go Daisies!! Until next time! Be friendly and helpful wherever you go!
