I am so excited that we are starting up a JMG group in our County through 4H! The extension agent suspected that we would have about 10 kids come, would you believe that right now we have 16+ already signed up and we are expecting more?! I am so excited! (I know, I said that already)
We are going to have the meetings at our house once a month. There is a Leader Handbook and student handbooks that go along with the program. The kids have between 4-7 tasks to do at home, and there are a number that they can choose from for each task. Then when we all get together we get to do another batch of tasks to reinforce the concepts and learn as a group.
So, we are about to embark on our first month of tasks, all three boys will be participating and hopefully get certified! Not sure what the certification will do for them, but it sure cannot hurt!
So, stay tuned to see what we are learning as we get certified! We are going to learn lots plants, soil, careers, and much more!!
