December 30th- Cloverbud Discovery Day
Participants in the Cloverbud Discovery Day learned about environmental education through a variety of hands-on educational experiences. Lessons were taught using the Science Discovery Series Curriculum, Project Wet Curriculum, Project Learning Tree Curriculum and an OSU Cloverbud Nature Detectives Publication. Youth learned about many of the products which come from our forests. Youth enjoyed a Nature Detective hike outside in the snow. Participants learned about natural resources and participated in two demonstrations which helped explain the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources. Youth watched, “Bottom of the Barrel” which taught them about the nonrenewable resource, oil. The children also participated in The Incredible Journey activity which demonstrated how water droplets move through the water cycle. Each youth created a water cycle bracelet/keychain to take home with them. Participants learned about Barn Owls by watching a movie and dissecting owl pellets. When surveyed one youth responded that they had learned about how to make a bracelet which represented the water cycle. One of the participants replied that they had learned about oil. Another child responded that they had learned about how to use gas and that it was a nonrenewable resource. When asked how they could use natural resources wisely, 100% of the participants stated that they could use less gas/oil. Plan to attend an upcoming 4-H Discovery Day!

"I Share My Mom" poem
This poem was published in the National 4-H News in April 1955 and
was written by Mrs. Martin Clawson of Reily, Ohio.
I Share My Mom
A 4-H leader, she’s a “Mom” to all-
A friend to the big and to the small.
She’s seen us through our younger years,
And shared our joys and sometimes tears.
She’s taught us to sew and finish a seam
A compliment to us and she will beam.
We learned to model and win with grace,
And also lose with a smile on our face.
So now as we must older grow
We think back and begin to know-
Her guidance and friendship in every way
We can never fully repay.

Youth Enjoy a Day of Discovery
Youth Enjoy a Day of Discovery
Hertford County youth enjoyed a day of discovery with 4-H on Veteran’s Day, November 11, 2010. This special day of discovery was planned for youth ages 5-8 years old to introduce them to the Hertford County 4-H Program. Cloverbud Discovery Day participants included Stephan Shearin, Lindsay Williams, Alice Williams, Cannon Frye, Jace Frye, Catie Wise, Jacob Sellers, Samuel Sellers and Wynter Taylor. These 4-Her’s enjoyed a fun-filled day of activities! During the day camp the children learned about the food guide pyramid, eating healthy and getting exercise. The youth participated in the Cloverbud Olympics and other games which gave them the opportunity to get their daily exercise during the camp. The campers learned about their environment by taking a hike to the park, participating in a nature scavenger hunt and playing tree bingo. Youth also learned about owls through dissecting owl pellets to find out what the owl had eaten. To celebrate Veteran’s Day the participants were taught about this special holiday and why it is so important to recognize our veterans. The youth enjoyed a story about thankfulness and created Thankfulness Trees to take home with them as they celebrate Thanksgiving. Do you think that your child would enjoy a fun day of hands-on learning? Educational opportunities provided through the Hertford County 4-H program are open to all area youth ages 5-19 years old. More educational programs will be hosted throughout the year so please contact Sherry Channell at the Hertford County Extension Office at (252) 358-7822 or by email at sherry_channell@ncsu.edu to find out more!
