CB’s can participate in many different learning areas from
Aerospace to Zoology! Parents of CB members take turns leading project meetings. Anything the
parent and member are interested in is a good thing to explore. Be sure to run your project idea past the
Organizational Leader for safety (UVM has some specific rules about what CB’s
cannot do).
Format (times approximate) When meeting during business meetings:
20 minutes - Join the regular member business meeting for
the pledges, secretary's report, treasurer's report, and then give their report
on what they did in their previous meeting.
60
to 75 minutes - the CB's head off to
their own project meeting.
Have snack when it is convenient for the members and project,
try to join the regular members for snack.
15 to 30
minutes – share what they learned, how it made them feel, and fill in their
“record” by drawing pictures or writing in to the record, or by gluing photos
in to the record.
I'm happy to take the lead on planning the first Cloverbud activity. If everyone wants to share some of their Cloverbuds interests we can come up with a topic and project. - Patty
ReplyDeleteGreat! Nick and Marshall are both very much into nature and science, especially nature-based topics.
ReplyDeleteThe next Business meeting isn’t until Dec 5. Do we want to try and have a CB meeting in November, or is that too soon? —Meliisa
ReplyDeleteMelisa, I'm open to a meeting in November, preferably either Nov. 14 or Nov 21st when my older kids are there for a project. Would your boys be interested in doing a leaf identification activity? Maybe we can have everyone collect leaves, we can identify them and then do some activities like leaf printing and rubbing & maybe creating a leaf animal with our leaves. -Patty
ReplyDeleteHere's a website I found with a bunch of ideas - let me know what might interest your boys.. https://toandfrofam.com/nature-art-projects/
ReplyDeleteSounds great! Remember, each parent should tailor the meetings they lead to things their family is interested in, and that way, everyone hopefully tries new things! But, who doesn't like VT fall leaves!
