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.
