Girl Scouts Brownie: Wonders of Water Part 1

Jaden is a Brownie Girl Scout. Brownies are grade 2 and 3 girls. The Brownie series, is a great addition to a girl's learning. It allows girls to grow and develop new skills and spend time with girls their age.  You can follow this blog as Jaden learns through the Brownie program.  I am hoping this will provide you with ideas on how to help your girls earn their badges. 

Above is the book that I am referring to in this post.  In Part 1 of the book, the girls learn about the way water gets to their homes, and how it leaves.  It is an effort to teach them conservation as well.  Jaden and I went through the chapter page by page.  Then, she drew a picture of how the water gets to the house, and how the it gets to the sewer.  She brainstormed on how she can save water at home as well. 

And, this is what I LOVE about homeschooling- I learn something new everyday as well! 

At the end of the chapter, we watched these informative videos on the San Francisco Sewage System:

Sewer Part 2

In the back of the WOW book, there are the last things the girls must do to earn the badge.  For this one, the girls should think of and write down their 2 favorite things about water and make a water promise.  Once that is complete, you can hand your girls their part 1 water badge!

I hope this post helps you and your Brownie on your Girl Scout journey!
