Here's Emma with her Liberty Girls group that I am leading again this semester. Sadly Robyn is too old for Liberty Girls now and has advanced to YASA (Young Adult Statesmen Academy) where she meets once a month with a group of girls her age and discusses a book, plans an activity and does a service project.
This semester for Liberty Girls they are reading about a girl named Kit who lived through the great depression. The books were well written to teach the girls about making the most of what you have and the importance of saving. They also touch on service quite a bit and not judging where others are in their life. There are six books that we read, one for each get together. Every time we are done with one Emma begs for me to read her the next. These books are helping Emma to be more motivated on reading practice and her desire to read on her own has increased.
In the pictures (provided by my co-leader Tricia) the girls are making piggy banks out of old jars and fabric scraps. This semester we are encouraging them to save for the year end Liberty Girls Retreat on their own.
