Cute Chicks Do Personal Progress

To encourage work on Personal Progress this week, each young woman was given a value challenge. The value challenge was written on a small piece of paper and tucked inside a plastic Easter Egg. Also included in the egg was a chocolate bunny and a few jelly beans. All the filled eggs were then placed in a rod iron bird cage with a green sash that was a reminder of the value for the month--Knowledge. The bird cage was dangled in front of the young women as they were given their challenge and then told if they could accomplish the challenge by the following Tuesday they would be rewarded with a fun Spring yummy.

Bunnies and Chicks! This is the website that inspired the project: http://www.stampingwithangie.blogspot.com/
And the bunnies seemed to reproduce lots faster than the chicks! Not surprised at that?
