We gave the girls an assignment last week to go do something nice for someone else. Today we spent the first part of our meeting talking about all the cool things the girls did. Their good deeds included helping brothers with homework or Legos or making them cake pops, taking in neighbors trash cans, baking cookies for fire fighters, donating diaries to their sisters, bringing packs of gum to pet adoption workers, or volunteering to pet sit for friends A few girls hadn't had a chance to do their nice deed yet. We talked about how it felt to do something nice, and the great responses they got from the people they did nice things for. Hopefully we can all continue doing nice things, and hopefully the recipients of our good deeds pay the niceness forward!
For our workout today, the girls did 5 laps of running. As an extra part of the lesson, we talked about ways to get exercise when you aren't able to run. So, in between the running laps, we had the girls do push ups...
Lunges...
Sit-ups...
And step-ups!
The point was to show the girls that you can find ways to get your exercise in even if your usual tools (such as room to run) aren't available.
At the end of the meeting, the girls wrote in their journal about their service project...what they did, and how it made them feel.
Up next...the practice race! See you all Wednesday!
