Growing in Self-Reliance
Handout from Christy's Clipart
Handout idea from Jenny Smith



Deseret Book
For lesson 11 handout I had the jumbo plastic eggs and had printed in different colors on address labels and cut apart word strips (that go along with the questionnaire from the manual) and placed them on the egg. (growing testimony, new temptations, time management, changing relationships with friends, money management, challenges at school, initiative, responsibilities, dating, career choices) Inside the egg I placed a chenille chick (from Michaels with extra yellow fluffy feather from JoAnn's hot glued to it) and put it in a small basket with the Coming Out poem (as suggested in the manual) attached to the handle using the graphic from Christy's Clipart printed on yellow paper (4 to a page).  They were very cute. (Idea by Shelley Clines)
I asked each mother for a baby picture of her girl to put on a table display. I let the girls guess who was who, and then I talked about how dependent they were as babies and how much they've grown and learned since then. (Idea by Ann Heiner)
