Fall registration is Thursday April 23rd for existing families, and May 1st for new families.

This fall we will be working on our Art Badge.

For those who have not already earned their watercolor badge. They will be earning that as well.

We will also be doing some sort of Bible Memory Badge. I am still working on

that. And will decide over the summer. These are possibilities:

Fruits of the Spirit, The Lord’s Prayer, The 23rd Psalm.

We are taking off this semester to work on projects at home.

We hope to resume Pebbles activities next Fall.

We do not currently have a leader for Young Contenders.

Our older Stepping Stones and Contenders are still meeting.

We decided to bump up the Baking unit and end with the Needlepoint unit.

Last  week we talked about measuring. How to measure flour-you scoop and scrape.

Measuring sugar you gently shake off the excess to get an even amount.

We talked about tools for cooking. Measuring cups 1/2 cup, 1/4 cup etc.

We talked about teaspoons and tablespoons etc.

We practiced measuring different items.

This week we actually made cookies in class. Each girl was assigned part of the recipe.

Here are some pictures.

Measuring and adding flour.

Scooping the cookie dough onto the baking sheet.

Mrs. April baked them while the girls finished their morning classes.

Each girl got a baggie of cookies at lunch time-that they could take home and enjoy.

We have been studying Fire Safety over the last few weeks.

Here are some pictures of our visit from the FIre Dept.

We presented them with a gift bag of breakfast foods.

Each girl brought something to contribute. Oatmeal, breakfast bars, etc.

Some of the girls brought in their bird crafts.

They were adorable.

Giving her bird report, and she made a beautiful book of bird drawings.

The girls played a game about birds.
