Yesterday we had 19 9-13 year olds in the office learning about Internet Safety & Painting Techniques. We traveled to Richmond Community College to discuss Internet safety and how to be safe when we are online. Dr. Carlotta Knotts helped us to find some websites that were safe to go to and we learned that we should never give out information about ourselves over the Internet. Before heading back to the Extension Office, we talked about cyber bullies & how to react when someone says something to or about you online.
After some team building activities, we got out the paints, brushes & newspaper & started painting everything! Well, almost everything:) We started out practicing on paper. Diane Lucas & her daughter Danielle helped us learn all kinds of cool designs! We had to learn to paint really small things, because next we moved to faces! I painted Coleman's face - cool huh?!? Check out the pictures to see what Coleman painted on my face:) After we were all decorated, we moved on to painting jars. We painted jars to hold everything from dog treats to hair ties to cotton balls! We had to be sure to place our creations in the oven for a few minutes to make sure that the paint stayed on. We got to take our creations home to share & now we know how to create more cool jars if we need them!
This morning we got here early to a bit of a different sight! There was a pen set up behind the building & two goats in it! We learned all about how to take care of them and show them from several members of the 4-H Livestock Club. We got to lead them around the "show ring" and learned how to stay on the right side while showing (don't block the judge's view:) and how to make sure they stay healthy. We finished the class with a game of review darts and everyone has this afternoon free.
We are excited to continue our Summer Fun classes Friday with Sewing Basics! Stay tuned for news as several of our members will travel to Montgomery County tomorrow for District Activity Day!
