October 10th Meeting

Today Rachel taught us a new song.
(sung to the tune of bingo)
I know a fruit that grows on trees and apple is it's name-o
a-p-p-l-e, a-p-p-l-e, a-p-p-l-e and apple is it's name-o

We made a pumpkin coin toss game out of milk lids. We also made pumpkin pretzels. And were given a genealogy assignment. Put in your binder a copy of your birth certificate, your blessing certificate, and your baptism certificate (if you have one). Think of important events or things that have happened in your life that are interesting and record them in a timeline. Your timeline will be even more interesting if you can find pictures to go along with the events in your life.

Color of the Seasons Poem

 

The Colors of Autumn
by Ann

Autumn is red
like a leaf changing colors from green
like a crisp, delicious apple waiting to be picked
like my oversized jacket keeping me warm on the cool nights

Autumn is yellow
like the rectangle hay bales neatly lined up in the fields
like the funny scarecrow decorating my neighbors yard
like the warm apple pie straight from the oven

Autumn is orange
like the big pumpkins in the patches at the farm
like the steaming sweet potato and chipotle soup in my bowl
like the fallen leaves on the ground dancing with the wind




Autumn is Colorful
by Kaylee

Autumn is Red
like crunchy colorful leaves dancing to the breeze, crisp apples
crunching in my mouth with sugar oh so sweet, and steamy tasty
 soup swirling in my bowl with veggies floating at the top.

Autumn is Orange
like glowing jack-o-lanterns at the doorsteps of Halloween fun,
tasty moist pumpkin pie in my tummy, and beautiful
leaves making a colorful show in the sky.

Autumn is Brown
like feasts with sweet juicy stuffed turkey, the dry
leaves making a cracking sound when I jump in, and the
frosty ground with icy barriers preventing growth of plants.

Autumn is Yellow
like lonely scarecrows wishing for friends to play and prance
 with during the long winter ahead, falling leaves
 that dance as gracefully as ballerinas twirling in the air, and different shaped,
 sized, colorful, textured gourds. 

 

Autumn Colors
By Rachel

Autumn is Orange
like the big round pumpkins in the pumpkin patch,
like the sweet tasting treat of candy corn,
like sweet potatoes with a little brown sugar and marshmallows.

Autumn is Yellow
like the school bus that Nathan takes to school,,
like pencils that we use for writing and drawing,
like yummy eggnog served at Thanksgiving.

Autumn is Red
like the leaves that change colors before falling to the ground,
like the crunchy delicious apples growing in the orchard,
like my ladybug costume that's red with black spots.

 

October 3rd Meeting

Today we organized our club. Colter is president, Kaylee is vice president, Rachel is song leader, and Cayla is secretary. We will rotate our jobs every month.

We worked on our "Colors of the Season" poems. Once they are finished they will be posted on the blog.

Save up five milk carton lids for the activity next week.

For photography we learned about the rule of thirds. You can read more about it at http://digital-photography-school.com/rule-of-thirds/. Practice taking pictures of things that are in the poem you wrote using the rule of thirds. You can post your favorite picture along with your poem if you would like when you are finished.

We look forward to seeing all the creative things you have done!

The kids did great at the Cache County Fair this year.  This was Rachel's first year in 4-H and she is a Clover Bud.  She got participation ribbons on all 4 of her projects.  Colter, Cayla, and Kaylee had their Photo Family Tree projects selected to go to the Utah State Fair in September.  Colter and Kaylee's paper quilling, along with a photo that Kaylee entered also went to the Utah State Fair this year.  They all did a fantastic job!! Congratulations!

June Service Project

Friday, June 28, 2013 our 4-H club did a service project at the beginning of the street in which  Grandma lives, 1330 North in Logan, Utah. The weeds had taken over in front of the sign. Our club pulled the weeds and cleaned up the area.  It was very hot out and we decided that it was way too hot to plant flowers. But it looks lots nicer with the weeds gone.

 We are finished!

We ate popsicles to cool off 

Picture Pie Projects

Wednesday, June 26, 2013 we did art from Ed Emberley's Picture Pie a cut and paste drawing book.  We cut out circles and then made pictures with the pie shapes. Colter said that this was the kind of art he liked to do.  It was fun!
