The "Breathe" journey didn't go as well tonight - the girls are getting a little bored. We will discuss careers and do a air observation next time, and then focus on the project. Although I still have yoga, rose lotion, and baking eclairs planned - but I know those will all be enjoyed, and we can do them any time. If I combine that with the project, it should all finish up nicely. Maybe baking eclairs will turn out to be our celebration...
The Juniors finished up the cookie badge.

Feb 15
No older girls. I focused on supplying cookies to parents, and taking money. The Juniors made recycled bead bracelets.
Feb 8th
We continued working on the "Breathe" Journey. We talked about scents, and made the lavender bath sachet. The girls are interested in trying the rose lotion, so I'll try to find some rose petals for that. We lit a candle, and the girls seemed to really enjoy the whole thing.

Feb 1st
No older girls today - so we did cookie posters with all the younger girls, and I worked on the cookie badge with the juniors...
Jan 25
Today we worked on the second session of "Breathe." We made bath sachets, turned off the lights, and lit a yummy smelling candle. For our opening ceremony, we just went around, and everyone shared anything they wanted to. I was pleasantly surprised that they wanted to do this - even my quiet girls shared.
So we talked about smells, and air pollution, and what is actually in air. We talked about the air log - they understand this is required to earn the award. We'll see how many of them bring it back...
We stuck our pieces of tape all over the church to collect dust. And since we had some extra time, we did one of the science experiments from session 3 - the one that shows air has weight.
For our closing, we tried to sit for 1 minute with no noise. Didn't work. Lots of giggles... I think we'll keep trying this - maybe by the end of this journey we'll be able to pull this off....

Started "Breathe"
We officially started the "Breathe" journey on Jan 18. The girls seemed to have fun with the symphony of noise. We worked through the first session, pretty much the way it's laid out in the book.
