4H club meets three times

By Maria Vandenbrand
Pine River 4-H

This week the Pine River 4-H club had 3 meetings. The first one was at Sundwall Gardens on Wednesday. The group discussed how and what plants need to grow and then we got a tour of the green house. The second meeting was on Saturday. We had 3 lessons that day. The first one was “Our Place In The World”. During that lesson the club talked about human resources and made home-made paper. The second lesson was called “Let’s Talk”, where the club discussed communication and played the game “Telephone”, also known as the gossip game. The last lesson on Saturday was “All About Animals”. The club did an animal food quiz and skits about what you need to keep care of different animals. The last meeting was on Sunday but it really wasn’t a meeting but more of an Achievement Program. The club and their families came together for a potluck, gave a little presentation on what they learned and had a quiz on what they learned. Altogether it was a good introduction to 4-H. We are hoping to have a summer session of hands-on outdoor activities.
