"I Am" Poems and (Not So Scary) Soldering!




This week during Girl Talk at SOHO, we created "I Am" poems where big and little sisters used the starting phrase "I am" to create a poem that describes them.  It's always wonderful to see the variety of what's created and to see that some people are already so open with each other.  Almost everyone shared their entire poems with the group.

During the art portion of the night pairs created friendship necklaces!  This project is always fun because girls get to use soldering guns and learn a little about jewelry making.  There's always a few who are scared of the processes but by the end everyone is impressed with what they've learned!  After Thanksgiving, everyone will get their friendship necklaces back and will be able to start wearing their creations.
Last week was also the night before our week off for the Thanksgiving. In line with the thankful theme, Zartesia had orchestrated a secret thank you to the big sisters and teachers to thank them for everything at SOHO! It was a wonderful surprise for all the big sisters to see that their little sisters understand and appreciate their time together.
What are you thankful for this week?

Happy Holidays everyone!
