World Thinking Day is February 22. It is a day that Girl Scouts celebrate international friendships. It is also a reminder that we are part of a global organization including 150 other countries. Girl Scouts highlight different countries every year. This year Haiti was one of the countries. The 2010 theme is "together we can end extreme poverty and hunger."
At our meeting, we spent circle time talking about what is was like to be hungry. I asked the girls if anyone had gone an entire day without eating when they weren't sick. We talked about being grateful for the comforts we enjoy. Each girl made a doll with a letter on the front. When finished, the dolls spelled T-H-I-N-K-I-N-G D-A-Y. This worked perfectly...11 letters and 11 girls. They were supposed to step up and say a part with their doll during an ending ceremony but we ran out of time and were just able to finish the dolls.
Stay tuned for our upcoming field trip new to the Campbell County Animal Shelter.
