Ideas of things to do at Beloit

• open/close time with prayer
• crafts (creating a "Me" binder with pictures cut out from magazines)
• games (musical chairs, zingo, twister, charades)
• reading
• songs with motions
• ice breakers
• makeovers with girls

We also decided that for our first meeting with the kids we would make name tags for everyone (as an arts and crafts project) and then collect them at then end and bring them back each time.

Notes from meeting with Beloit

Our first session is next week on the 29th. Meet at 6:45 at the main doors like last time. The following information is what I wrote down. I'm sure there are things I missed so hopefully you remember them!

• staff are always around
• ages range from 5-15
• not all kids can read well
• if you bring food in it can't be homemade, it must be packaged
• a full unit equals 12 kids

The units are:

Faith (Townsend)

• co-ed
• all ages
• middle school girls
• full

Unity (Thorpe)

• co-ed
• elementary
• full

Hope (Armbrecht)

• All girls
• All ages
• sexual issues
• Full with 8 girls

Hunziker (Wykle)

• all boys
• all ages
• full

Odland (Baskett)

• all boys
• all ages

I guess I should check in and let you know it works for us as well!

I'm on!! We'll see if I can figure it all out. But I think I figured out how to leave a message?

It works well for us! I think you just need to have a google account - be it with a blogger account, or gmail, then you can post here as well. Thanks Jenna!

So I figured out that I think I need to add all of you as authors to this blog so that you can post stuff just like I can rather than just comments. I'm going to try it anyway and let me know if it is funky or what. There's a lot of options with this that I didn't know about. So it just asks me to put in email addresses of the authors I want, so don't be surprised if you get an email about it.

I did it!!!

Hello everyone! I have created this nice little blog for us all to communicate over the summer and to help each other out with ideas for Beloit. You can post anything you want on here. I'm pretty sure you can post pictures too if you feel like it. I know for sure you can post comments, but I may have to post pictures if you have any. I don't know. I'm a rookie blogger;)
