MEETING JANUARY 18, 2011

At this week's meeting, the girls earned their Penny Power Try-It. We acted out an activity in which the girls went door to door to sale cookies. With their profit, they then visited Kelli's Store. They used their money to buy things and learned about counting money and making change. They also got to test a money marker pen on fake money and real money to learn the difference. This will definitely help them when it comes time for our cookie booth. In our group discussion we talked about how we earn money at home by doing chores. The girls were given information regarding a savings account, should the parents wish to set one up for them. For our craft, we made Valentine cards. These cards will be given to Hearts for Kids to be distributed to children in area hospitals.

We ended the meeting with a game of octopus tag. The girls sure had a great time doing that.
