Teacher College

Teachers teaching teachers how to teach.  That's where I went last week!  The Teacher's College at Columbia University.  I feel so honored to have been chosen to attend.

Last Day of School

Another year of school is over....with still many more to go.  Ayden will go to MY school next year with his big sister, Allie.  These two are smarter, wiser and just a little bit taller.

Spring Farm Sprouts

Farmer Ayden was a spring spout at Tollgate Farms.  He learned about baby animals, gardening, life cycles and even tried a new food here and there. 

Bridging to Brownies

Another successful year of Daisies!  Tonight Allie received all her year's badges and patches she earned as her last year as a Daisy Girl Scout.  There are so many accomplishments these girls should be proud of...

This year, our troop attended core camp for the first time.  We learned about the journey of water, had a maker space drive to collect items for our school's maker space, and sold over 7,500 boxes of cookies as a troop!  We went camping, participated in archer, a low ropes course, and learned how to horseback ride.  We learned about recycling from Paw Patrol's Rocky, made blankets for local animal shelters and planted flowers with senior citizens. 

Allie has been waiting to bridge to a BROWNIE for two long year.  Tonight I had the honor of placing her brownie vest on this new little brownie!

I'm so proud to continue on our Girl Scout journey together.  I can't wait to see what our Brownie year has in store for us!

Girl Scout Troop Camping

What a fabulous way to end out year together.So many badges and patches were earned at troop camping this spring.  Allie tried archery for the first time and participated in a low ropes, team building course with her scout friends.  She became a citizen scientist by helping collect data about ants and planting flowers at the camp's Butterfly Garden.  Beautiful outdoor art was created for an art badge and her favorite was roasted on the fire...s'mores...while singing song.

I'm so thankful for our wonderfully huge troop and all the memories and new friendships we make together.

Taking action!
