First Week

So I was both excited and nervous about this first week. I didn't exactly know what to expect so I didn't know exactly what to prepare for. The first hour of the program is supposed to be spent doing home work, but apparently the girls have Star Testing for the next two weeks so they didn't have any homework. But its alright we just spent a little bit more time outside on Monday than I originally planed.

So Monday I first met the girls, a total of eleven girls decided to join the program so I think we are going to invite one more. Of the eleven, nine came on Monday. We met in the class room and I introduced my self to the girls and I tried to learn all there names. I talked to them about what the Girls' Sports and Leadership Club is all about and we discussed what it means to be a leader, how it is personal and not positional. Next we headed outside to play some games with my roommate's giant blue exercise ball. The giant blue ball was a big hit!

One Wednesday I tried to plan the classroom time a little bit more. Today's topic was body image so after we did some homework we watched this video: Dove Evolution
Next the girls made some awesome collages in an attempt to reinvent their own version of beauty.

After the crafts we went outside and played some games. The first week was a little hectic but it was a good start!

Hopefully next week will be even better!
