Do you ever have one of those days where you hear a song and suddenly, all these memories come flooding back? Music is so powerful, and it can carry so many beautiful stories. Some of my favorite memories are connected to singing songs at Girl Scout events and camps. One amazing way that you can help your Girl Scouts have a fun time in your troops is to learn all the Girl Scout songs, and teach them to your scouts. Now, it is important to note that while I perused the official Girl Scout Songbook, I noticed that there were a lot of mature themes that may not be appropriate, especially for younger girls. There were multiple mentions of kissing, nudity, and death in the songs, which are usually handled in a silly, light way in Girl Scout traditions and songs, but are still not probably topics that would be considered acceptable today. There are also a lot of Christian messages in the songs, which is just important to be mindful of if your scouts aren’t all religious, or come from different religions. You want your scouts to be as comfortable as possible, and be able to focus on their badges. I wanted to share some of my favorite songs that you could easily learn, that are fun, appropriate, and not about any particular faith tradition, to be as inclusive as possible. I highly recommend learning these songs and teaching them to your troop! If you’re interested in checking out more, you can check out the full songbook, but as a troop leader, just make sure to use discretion and consider whether each song will be appropriate and comfortable for young girls. Songs to Learn (With Lyrics): 1. Each Campfire Lights Anew This is a beautiful, sentimental song that will bring a lovely feeling to any campfire with your scouts. You can teach it around the fire while eating s’mores and enjoy the music together, while singing about being new friends. Lyrics: Each campfire lights anew, The flame of friendship true. The joy we’ve had in knowing you Will last the whole year through. And as the embers die away, We wish that we might ever stay, But since we cannot have our way, We’ll come again some other day. And though our paths may part, We’ll keep you in our hearts, And if we chance to meet again, God bless us all, Amen. The campfire light will throw, A warm and friendly glow, A radiance never burning low, Wherever we may go. 2. The Frog Song There are some camp songs that are a lot less serious, and it’s really fun to learn them and sing them with your girls! If you want to get the giggles going, teach your scouts this song and sing it with them in meetings or on hikes. It’s even better to get a good laugh while catching frogs outdoors! Lyrics: (Tune: Brownie Smile Song) I have something in my pocket That I found behind a log My leader said to put it back But I want to keep my frog It’s cool and green and slimy And it squiggles in my hand I also have a wooly worm And a pocket full of sand 3. Walk With Me (AKA Kanga’s Song) This is the perfect song about friendship that will instill good values into your scouts, and help them build relationships with each other. Lyrics: *Chorus* Walk with me and talk with me and, say you’ll be my friend. And together we’ll work out a harmony on a road that will never end. Although our roads are different, just watch as they converge. We’ve gotta job to do together, And our song, it must be heard. *Chorus* We’re sisters for the summer, that’s what the children say, But little do they know when they go away, our friendships will never fade. *Chorus* So when you’re down, I’ll build you up, and when you’re up, I’ll laugh with you, and together we’ll find a peace of mind that only two friends can find. *Chorus* 4. Boom Chicka Boom This song is a classic! Plus, it invites your girls to be creative when they come up with the styles they want to sing about. It’s so fun to create your own words and hand gestures to go along with them. Lyrics: Boom chicka boom (crowd repeats) I said a boom chicka-boom! (crowd repeats) I said a boom-chicka-rocka-chicka-rocka-chicka-boom! (crowd repeats) Uh huh! (crowd repeats) Oh yeah! (crowd repeats) One more time… (crowd repeats) Someone shouts out a style. Choice could be: Faster, slower, whisper, Southern, English, janitor style broom-chicka-broom… then broom-chicka-sweepachicka-sweepa-chicka-broom, valley girl style, photographer style, babystyle, underwater style, motorcycle style (vrooom chicka vroom) I hope teaching each new song to your scouts will help your troop grow closer together and build beautiful memories! If you have more fun campfire songs that you think other troop leaders should learn, please share them below in the comments.

It's Your World - Change It!: A Leadership Journey Girl Scout Brownies As mentioned in a previous post, I am serving as co-leader for Brownies for the first time this year. We are a multi-level troop, so other leaders and parent helpers are working with the older girls. Our Brownies will focus on the Brownie Quest Journey and associated badge work this time around. The troop meets every other week for about an hour and a half, which includes some introductory time with the entire troop and snack time. We will lose a handful of meetings to parties, prep work for World Thinking Day, inclement weather, etc. So, that's not a whole lot of time to get things done. My goal is to creatively cram as much fun and badge work into those days as humanly possible. Every now and again, I will squeeze in bits and pieces from Legacy badge work as well. If all goes as planned, the troop should be able to earn their Brownie Quest Journey, My Family Story, My Best Self, Home Scientist and Bugs badges this year. Hopefully, we'll find time for Money Manager and Meet My Customers too. Eek, that's a lot! We'll see how it goes. Quick note related to the Discover Key, which is what this post is really all about. I made an executive decision to switch the order of Steps 1 and 2 in case we ran over into snack time a bit. Our chosen activities just fit better in my mind that way. Also, I typed out and adapted various parts of the script in the Brownie Quest How To Guide, which I read as we progressed through our meeting. Although Tessa and I will likely read the story from the Brownie Quest girls' book at home, we will not read it as a troop due to time constraints. I may use a piece from it here and there, but I have opted not to purchase copies of the book for the girls. My apologies for not posting any photos from our actual meeting. There just wasn't any way for me to snap any while conducting the meeting. I took our camera and meant to have my husband take some, but I totally forgot to have him do so. Maybe next time... Brownie Quest - Discover Key To find the Discover Key, Brownies discover their special qualities and talents, the values of the Girl Scout Law, and the special qualities and values of their families. Meeting 1 Sang the Brownie Smile Song. We will begin the Brownie portion of each meeting with the Brownie Smile Song during the first half of the year. After that, we will switch to the Brownie Hiking Song. Doing so will nearly fulfill Girl Scout Way, Step 1. I downloaded the Brownie Smile Song audio file from Girl Scouts University Song Leading Mini-Workshop and then played it during the meeting as the girls and I sang along. I also created my own lyrics sheet to match the audio file, which uses a slightly different version of the Brownie Smile Song than the lyrics sheet provided by the workshop. I posted the lyrics sheet on a portable magnetic dry erase board at the meeting as a visual aid to help the girls follow along and learn the song. Searched to discover the values of the Girl Scout Law with a scavenger hunt. - Discover Key, Step 2 completed! Our scavenger hunt was very similar to what is suggested in the Brownie Quest How To Guide. I took the activity one step further by having the girls assemble a set of paper keys with the lines of the Girl Scout Law printed on them. The completed key ring doubles as a set of flash cards to help the girls learn the Girl Scout Law at home. I promised a I Know the Scout Law Fun Patch to any girl who can memorize and recite the Law to me without mistakes. For the discover the values of the Girl Scout Law scavenger hunt, I created bright orange packets of paper keys with lines of the Girl Scout Law printed on them that I hid in plain sight around our meeting space. After going ELF, each pair of girls brought back two packets...one for each girl. At my command, they dumped them onto the floor and guessed what the clues added up to. After correctly guessing the Girl Scout Law, we stacked the keys in the correct order. Finally, the girls added paper "Girl Scout Law" key fobs and fashioned key rings out of pipe cleaners (that I previously had cut in half). Completed Girl Scout Law key rings double as flashcards to help the girls learn the Law at home. These must be printed on heavyweight card stock for durability. I used Staples® Brights, 65lb. Colored Paper in assorted colors. Leaders, please note that this activity is not for the faint of heart or cutting challenged. You must cut out eleven keys, plus the heart for each girl! Discovered the girls' special talents and qualities by creating personalized I Spy jars. - Discover Key, Step 1 completed! (This also fulfills Senses, Step 1.) I actually designed Find Out About... Cootie Catcher, which I based on the "Discovering Me" star from the Brownie Quest girls' book, over the summer to fulfill this step of the Journey. While I still think it's a good activity, one my daughter was excited about, the amount of writing it requires nagged at me. Our troop is primarily composed of new second graders who are still learning to spell and develop their writing stamina. I ended up changing my mind a couple of weeks ago. Instead, we made personalized I Spy jars! I had long planned I Spy bottles for the first part of the Senses badge, so I was thrilled when the little light bulb in my head finally clicked on to show me that I could combine both the Senses and Discover Key steps. After a couple of brainstorming sessions with my friends at Pinterest, I decided to design a card with a checklist to make this idea work. The I Spy jars took a lot of preparation on my part, but the girls absolutely loved them. Most of the what-nots I already had in my craft closet, so the jars were cost-efficient for us. If everything had to be purchased new, it could get pretty pricey. Luckily, I've been saving recyclables for over a year and had just enough empty Peter Pan Peanut Butter jars for the troop. Note: The I Spy checklist must be printed on heavyweight cardstock. It also must be sent through your printer twice for front-to-back printing. (I have a duplex printer, but I couldn't get the cards to print correctly no matter what I did. Hopefully, others will have better luck.) Make sure you do some testing on scrap paper, as printers can be finicky. Be sure your paper is stacked neatly after every page or you may end up cutting the margins a little close on some of cards. I actually printed extra and picked the best ones for the girls to use with their jars. The girls in our troop had a blast making personalized I Spy jars to discover their special talents and qualities. I prepared a couple of batches of colored rice and pre-measured it into zipper bags ahead of time. I also cut a funnel from an empty half-gallon milk jug that worked perfectly for pouring rice into the jars. A parent helper hot glued the jars shut during the meeting. Rubber bands were used to attach the removable checklist to the jar. Handed out Discovering Family bag to be completed at home and returned at the next troop meeting. I felt Discover Key, Step 3 a good place to transition to My Family Story associated badgework, so that's what we will mostly be working on during the next two meetings. I also handed out family recipe cards to be brought back the same day. The Discovering Family bag activity will fulfill the final Discover Key step as well as My Family Story, Step 1. The family recipes cards will fulfill My Family Story, Step 2. Quick note: I realized when cutting out the aforementioned completed recipe cards that I messed up when designing them. Some are not correctly sized. And, they are just a funky size, in general. You might be better off searching for free recipe card printables on Pinterest. I'll try to fix this as soon as I can. I created a sample Discovering Family bag for Brownie Elf to give the girls and their parents an idea of what a completed bag should look like. The girls will have fun guessing what Girl Scout Law value their fellow troopmate's families chose at the next meeting. Brownie Elf's family picked "be a sister to every Girl Scout," so she put a paper doll chain, a trefoil and a Girl Scout fun patch in her bag as clues. Her family considers friends to be family. Brownie Elf wants the girls in her troop to feel like family. Meeting 2 (Scheduled for mid-October, 2014.) Share Discovering Family bags. - Discover Key to be earned!

Looking for a ready-to-use bullying prevention classroom lesson? This bullying prevention guidance lesson offers a fun and engaging way to teach students the different roles in bullying and what it means to be an upstander. The lesson is designed to be low-prep and ready to use. I have also included detailed scripts, answers, and extension activities so you are never left wondering what to do next. Students will define bullying and assess one's ability to be an upstander. They will also learn what is and what is not considered bullying (this is especially helpful for those students that think EVERYTHING is bullying). This Lesson Includes: Counselor's Guide including ASCA and CASEL-aligned objectives Detailed Outlines with scripts, suggested student answers, and extension activities Interactive Icebreaker “Speed Dating” Discussion Bullying Prevention Board Game Written Reflection Data Collection Tool: Pre and Post-Lesson Self-Assessments In a 2003 Harris poll of more than 2,200 girls between the ages of 8 and 17 commissioned by the Girl Scouts of America, bullying topped girls’ lists of concerns. When asked what they worried about the most, the most common response was being socially ostracized, being teased, or being made fun of. The concern over bullying is not limited to girls either, a recent U.S. study shows that 17 percent of all students reported having been bullied "sometimes" or more often. This classroom lesson is designed to give you something actionable you can work on with your students that will allow them to understand, report, and overcome bullying behavior. The lesson would be a perfect fit for October (bullying prevention month) but it is designed to be used all year long. Benefiting Students Bullying Prevention education is crucial for fostering a safe learning environment.

This moon craft is great for preschool, kindergarten, first grade, or older kids. It's a great art extension during a space theme in the classroom.
Before I get started, please note that a lot of the prep work can be done by the girls in a meeting. But we were going to be pressed for time, so I did as much prep work beforehand as possible, because I wanted to do all of this in one meeting. It was a lot, but was GREAT! Now, you can use the suggested activities in the Junior binder, and that's fine! But as usual, I went a little outside the box. Do what works best for you and your troop! But you might enjoy one of the activities here. It took a little over an hour and a half for the actual meeting activities (which we completed, except for the shoe prints, which were a take-home for most girls), but there was a LOT of prep time! And we were careful to keep an eye on the clock. It could've taken 2 hours to do. Or you can break it up into two meetings. Whatever works. We began the meeting with a bit of a discussion about what a Detective is, and all about different codes (including the Code Talkers), etc. When talking about Morse Code, be sure to tell your girls that when it is written as a message, the dashes should be slightly elevated on the paper -- this ensures it is read right-side-up, not upside-down. (It also makes the dashes easier to see.) Make a point to talk about the different ways Morse Code can be used: light, sound, writing, etc. My 15 girls were split into three patrols (patrols are typically Juniors and up, and the next step up from buddies/pairs; here's a bunch of info about patrols), we had three stations (one overflow area for shoe prints), and the girls rotated, spending about 20 minutes at each station. If you're moving quickly, skip naming patrols and electing leaders, etc. Just split them up randomly and go! I had two parent volunteers on hand -- it depends upon how many girls you have (we had 15 for this meeting), as to how many you will need. More parents arrived towards the end, and it was great to have several helpers! I would recommend three volunteers if possible, so you can float from station to station and continue elaborating on how it ties into being a detective. To earn our badge, we did Fingerprinting, Shoe Prints, Color (Secret) Codes, Morse Code Necklaces, and DNA extraction. (We had a scavenger hunt Halloween party afterwards, which tied in nicely to the Detective Badge, and I'll list details in Part Two.) You will need at least 3 tables for this meeting, and will have to do clean up as you go. If you're going to have a snack, do it first! And I recommend removing vests before you begin the meeting, as it will get messy. I have a big Thirty-One large utility tote that I carried everything in, atop my wheeled file box (which held things like my soft cooler for the rubbing alcohol, portable recycle bin, paperwork, flag, etc.). The activity supplies were placed in labeled gallon Ziplocs where possible, and instructions were included, so I didn't have to waste time explaining it to my volunteers. They read over the instructions during snack. The only cumbersome thing was the poster frame. All of the items listed are to accommodate 15 girls. Adjust as needed. As always, you might find a shortcut to the way I did it. If so, please post and let me know how it worked! I tend to overcomplicate things at times. . . . FINGERPRINTS: You will need the following items for this activity: (Do at home ahead of time unless you are spreading this badge over more than one meeting. You can have the girls do more prep work, but it's very messy. It's up to you): - 3-4 full sized (9"x11") sheets of sandpaper - 1 four-pack of graphite sticks (Michael's, drawing/art section, or Amazon) - 1 piece of paper that's been folded in half then re-opened - Plastic gloves (optional) (Bring to meeting:) - 5 small plastic containers (reusable Glad or other brand works well) - 20+ index cards (they might mess up, so have spares) - Pre-printed fingerprint cards (see below) - 5 makeup brushes (big and old -- these will be pretty much ruined, so use cheap ones!) - 1 small container hand lotion - Poster frame (or similar acrylic type surface -- our tables are wooden and have grooves, so we needed something very flat) - Clear packing tape - Scissors - 2 stamp pads (washable ink) - 1 roll paper towels - Access to a sink for hand-washing (soap) - Pencils or pens to write names on things Tiny Glad containers worked great for fingerprint powder Prepare before meeting: - I used one four-pack of graphite sticks from Michaels (art/drawing section). You can use regular pencils (it's a pain though as you have to stop and sharpen them constantly), sidewalk chalk, or powdered cocoa. I've not tried any of that though. The graphite worked well. - Wearing plastic gloves (optional, but it's very messy. Seriously), scrub the graphite against the sandpaper (just like you're coloring the sandpaper). Periodically tap the powdered graphite onto a sheet of paper that's been folded in half then opened (powder collects in crease). Pour powder into your small plastic container and make sure the lid is on tightly. In the end you should have 5 containers. Each one will be plenty for three girls to use. (5x3=15. Adjust yours as needed for how many girls you'll have.) - Print out individual fingerprint cards: You can use card stock or regular paper for this. Cut them up ahead of time if you'll be pressed for time during your meeting. Create a sample stamped card to use as reference. Pack up everything with instructions in case there are other volunteers assisting. What to do in the actual meeting: - Have each girl write her name on an index card. Set aside. - Have each girl write her name on the card, then stamp her fingerprints onto it. - Wash hands. - Apply small amount of hand lotion (otherwise the fingerprints won't show up). - Press fingertip firmly onto poster frame. - Gently pick up some powdered graphite with a blush brush and tap it over the fingerprint. - Use the brush to gently reveal the fingerprint. - Cut off a piece of packing tape (it's easiest to have the adult helpers doing this) and press it gently keeping the edges unstuck so they can peel it off easier. - Peel it off and stick to an index card that the girl has written her name on. - Wash hands really well. :) SHOE PRINTS: This was our overlap/do-at-home activity. So if a girl finished an activity before others in her patrol, and had already cleaned up, she could do this. You may need to use some of your graphite, or some chalk, or just have them walk around on asphalt or dirt. We did not have enough time for this for most girls, so we sent it home with them. You could elaborate on it a bit, if you want it to be a more involved activity, and have the girls leave a shoe print on paper, then have each girl walk around with the paper and try to match it to the actual shoe, etc. Because of time, we needed a quick and easy fifth activity, so this was it. Shoe prints won't work if their shoes are squeaky clean. COLOR CODES (Steganography): This was based off of some research I did into Chromatography. Which was cool! But opted instead for steganography, which is basically hiding messages in pictures or text. More info on it here. Also, steganography is a hard word to say, seriously. It look like it could mean "if dinosaurs could write" or something. Practice saying it before you get to the meeting. This is an example of a much easier way to approach it. But, it wouldn't take 20 minutes and I needed comparable time for each activity. I'm glad I opted for way more complicated. The girls had a great time figuring it all out. Do what works best for you! Here's the thing. On my versions (scroll down to the red images), I can see the Morse Code symbols on the electronic version on my computer, but when I printed them out? Could not see them unless I knew to look for them. I tested it on my Daisy. She couldn't see anything but red designs. But when viewed through red glasses? We could both see the symbols clearly. So while you might be able to see something here on this site -- try printing it out and see if you still can (or not). Hopefully these will work. If not, Google is your friend! :) A great online resource for making Morse Code messages can be found here. Please note: If you have girls who are colorblind, a steganography activity probably won't work. But they can still participate if you're using a coded message like mine below (and not just colored letters to form a message, like above). Just have them work with a partner. The partner uses her red glasses and copies down the Morse Code, while the colorblind girl translates the code. You will need the following items for this activity: - Colored glasses (I made five total. Each pair was used three times) - Colored messages (variety for each group, so not everyone is working on the same message) - Scrap paper (one per girl) - Pencils (ditto) - Morse Code Key (see below) - Helper cheat sheet so the volunteers could help prompt girls if they got stuck Prepare before the meeting: - Print out the sheets below and cut each in half (each sheet has TWO messages on it; each girl needs one message -- the last message probably won't work for your troop, so discard it) - Print out the Morse Code keys (one per girl) - Create a volunteer/helper cheat sheet with translations (keep this one folded away) - Paperclip one message, one scrap paper, and one Morse Code key for each girl in each patrol (I had three groups of five, with one left over spare for each in case someone's didn't print out well). Make sure you use different red sheets for the girls in each patrol, so they aren't all working on the same message. - Bundle each patrol's packets together, so it's easy for your volunteers to pull out a new batch for the next group - Make your glasses (see below) Red cellophane glasses: You will need the following to make your own (one per girl, per group. You don't need to make each girl a pair of glasses if you're doing these activities as rotations. Just make the total you'll need per group): - Card stock - Cellophane (I used clear pocket divider cover things; you could use thick shrink wrap from packaging, etc. Just has to be thick and clear. Saran wrap won't work. Does your school have a laminating machine? I bet there's a bunch of scrap plastic you could use.) - Red Sharpies (fresh is best) - Tape - Scissors Follow the steps below to make your own. I made five glasses, but didn't bother to put ear pieces on them. The girls just held them with one hand, and it worked fine. If you have time, add ear pieces. Make sure the marker on the cellophane pieces is DRY before you tape the red cellophane over the holes in your card stock, or else you'll end up with red ink everywhere. If your marker doesn't go on smoothly, use your finger to spread the ink around. It'll make a mess though, so wear gloves (also, rubbing alcohol works well for getting Sharpie off tables. Ha!) I traced the front shape of the 3-D type sample glasses I had on hand, onto a folded piece of card stock. Then cut out the shape and unfolded. After you've cut out the glasses shape, mark roughly where to cut out for eyes, keep the shape folded in half, and use an X-Acto knife to cut the slots for the red cellophane. Use a red Sharpie to color the cellophane, which should be larger than the eye hole, but smaller than the card stock. You're going to tape the red cellophane inside the glasses shape. Red Sharpie transfers pretty easily. This is what the inside should look like with cellophane taped in. Once you're done, close and tape the card stock edges shut. Ta-dah! Homemade spy glasses! Print out all this stuff: You don't have to use my stuff. You can find others online, or make your own! But here's everything we used for the meeting. You will cut the red cards in half, and each girl in each group rotation/patrol gets a different one (so they aren't all working on the same message at the same time): "We are a great troop" and "Girl Scouts is awesome" Each word is on its own line. "This is super fun" and "Morse code is cool" "Secret codes are cool" and "Miss Renee rocks" And okay, so that last one is unusable for your troop, unless you happen to have a Miss Renee... Ha! So, just discard the #6 and use 1-5 for your group rotations. If you have more than 5 in a patrol, have them work in pairs. Each girl gets a copy of this to use and to take home and keep. Remind them that when Morse Code is written, the dashes are typically raised slightly so you know you're not looking at it upside-down. That's why the color sheets all have raised dashes. I didn't use the numbers, but it's nice to include them for reference. What to do in the actual meeting: Make sure the girls coming from the Fingerprints table have washed their hands well. Smudged graphite can really mess with this activity. Give each girl her paper-clipped bundle and a pencil. Tell her that each line of code is ONE word and to copy down the code exactly as she sees it. Don't try to translate it until you have everything copied down on your scrap paper. That way if they make a mistake, it's easier to find where they went wrong. (Reiterate how careful detectives are!) You can have them draw one of these: "/" in between each letter, if that helps. Some of my girls used their pencils to trace/color over the code on the actual paper, which made it visible without the glasses. Very clever girls! MORSE CODE NECKLACES: You will need the following items: - String/cord (pre-cut, one per girl. Make these a bit longer than necessary, to accommodate knots) - Pony beads (variety, round) - Tube beads (like these; see below) - Morse Code sheets (see above) Prepare before the meeting: Make a sample necklace for yourself. Tie knots in between the words (or you could tie single knots in between letters and double knots in between words. Whatever you like). I used the same color beads for letters (so all my E letters were one color, etc.), but you don't have to do that. The round beads are dots. The tubes are dashes. The girls LOVED this! Bucket of (tube) beads at Michaels. Super cheap and worked great! My "Miss Renee" necklace DNA EXTRACTION: Lots of great instructions online. Here's one example. Here's another. But don't worry; it's not nearly as complicated as it sounds. The key is to do it at least once at home so you won't stumble in the meeting, since timing is key. The measurements don't have to be exact, honestly. But try to get close if you can. It's more about proportions. We finished the patrol/group rotations for the other activities, cleaned up, and then everyone did this together, in pairs. All my adult helpers pitched in, which was GREAT! This can get tricky in terms of timing, especially the last step, so having more hands on deck is good. You will need the following items: - Rubbing alcohol, chilled (I put mine in a cooler with ice the night before, and brought the cooler to the meeting with me) - Small clear acrylic cups -- we worked in pairs for this, so I had two per pair. (You could use mixing bowls and cups instead, or go super fancy and get beakers. I just went to the Dollar store and bought cheap punch-size acrylic cups) - Wooden popsicle sticks (skewers can work too. Toothpicks are a bit too small, IMO) - Plastic spoons - Dish liquid (any brand will do. I've heard Dawn works well but I used a clear liquid. It was fine) - Sturdy Ziploc baggies (don't get the cheap ones, they'll rip) - Frozen strawberries -- THAWED! (Frozen ones work best, because once they thaw, they're already mushy. Plus, they have the tops cut off). I bought two bags but really only needed one. You don't need a ton, maybe three or four per girl, if they're medium-sized berries) - Salt - Paper napkins (or cheesecloth if you have it. We just used generic paper napkins -- they were the soft, super cheap cheap, double-ply kind. Not the Disney Princess style that have a more solid outer layer. You want something that liquid can pass through easily, but that won't tear) - Measuring cups/spoons - Water - Clean up towels for spills Prepare before the meeting: Run through it at least once beforehand. I should've done it twice, because I forgot a step early on during the meeting and had to start over. Which was no big deal, but that meant we ran over a little time-wise. So definitely do the experiment at home first, and I'd advise doing it twice just to be safe. The night before, chill your alcohol and grab a cooler, so it'll still be cold for your meeting. And don't forget to thaw your strawberries! If you leave them out overnight on the counter they should be nice and mushy for your meeting the next day. What to do in the actual meeting: Talk to the girls about how detectives use DNA, and what DNA is (I was surprised that some had no idea, so we had a nice little quick intro to genetics). 1. Pass out the cups (two per pair), plastic spoons (one per pair), popsicle sticks (two per pair), and napkins (extras on hand in case of spills or tears, etc.). 2. Give each pair of girls a sturdy Ziploc, and scoop some mushy strawberries into each one. Make sure the baggies are very well sealed, with the air pushed out. Set aside. 3. Put 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/3 cup water, and 1 tablespoon of dish liquid in one cup per pair of girls. 4. Have them use the spoons to gently mix the solution. This will be the extraction liquid. Set it aside. 5. Take turns gently mushing strawberries in baggies for ~2 minutes, or until it's as mushy as possible (they loved this part!). Set aside. 6. Have them place the napkins carefully over the top of the second cup. Press down in the middle so it sags well, and the strawberries won't spill over. Set aside. (You can use rubberbands to hold it in place, or just fingers.) 7. Add three tablespoons of the extraction liquid to the mushed strawberries baggy. You're done with the extraction cup (but hang on to it in case you need to re-do one). 8. Re-seal baggy (air pushed out) and work it through for another minute or so, until it's very well blended with the strawberries. Don't overwork it! You want to be gentle -- don't make bubbles. 9. Open the bag and carefully pour into the cup with the napkin on top. Have one girl hold the napkin in place with the middle pushed far down, while the other pours the mixture. Watch it drip into the cup. 10. Very gently pick up the edges of the napkin, so the mushy strawberry solution is contained within, then gently squeeze it so you get as much liquid into the cup as possible. 11. Carefully pick up the cup, then tilt it slightly. Pour a small amount (about 1-2 tablespoons? Test it at home and see) of chilled alcohol down the side of the cup (if you pour it straight in and it splashes, the experiment won't work as well). 12. Set the cup down and watch. It should start to work immediately. See the white layer forming? The alcohol is pulling strands of DNA from your mixture! 13. Use popsicle stick to carefully dip and grab the DNA strands. Randomly Googled image. I was too busy to take pictures of our actual experiment, but it was cool! Next up? Detective Part Two -- Halloween Scavenger Hunt.

What is happiness? And can it be taught? This lesson on happiness is also a fun team building activity for 1st and 2nd grade kids. Come see!
{If you're looking to do a unit about friendship and community, here are a few kinder-tested activities that we know will be a hit in the classroom!} A great way to build community in your classroom is to invite your kiddos to write about what they like about their classmates. Not only is it an esteem booster for your kiddos to read nice things about themselves, it's also important for your students to practice saying nice things about other people. A friendship quilt makes a great format for displaying your students' kind comments about their peers. The Process... First, discuss with your students what makes a great friend. Friends share their toys, treat you fairly, don't talk about you behind your back, forgive you when you mess up, apologize when they mess up, etc. You might consider reading a few books about friendship - How To Be A Friend by Laurie Krasny Brown and Marc Brown, The Best Friends Book by Todd Parr, etc. Next, so that no one is left out, assign each student a classmate to write about. Have them think about their peer and complete the prompt, "I like my friend __________ because..." Finally, have your students script their completed prompt onto a piece of 12" x 12" scrapbook paper and illustrate it {see the example below.} Example quilt square The result is a beautiful recognition of the unique individuals that make up your classroom - perfect for hanging in the hallway to be seen by parents, teachers, and peers alike!
