*Frick Park*

Hey, It's Niecy B. here to tell you about the Bioneers trip to Frick Park this week. The Bioneers crew went out to Frick Park Thursday afternoon to visit the Frick Park Crew. We started out the afternoon with a game called the name game which we use to not only break the ice, but so we could get to know one another. The kids seemed to enjoy that game,and that got them warmed up for the next game that we played Big Booty, funny name right? It's a fun game also they enjoyed that alot, after we were done with the games, we took them back to the pavillon to talk with them about the Bioneers conference, and to talk with them a little bit about some of the places we've visited in the Bioneers Program, and asked them to tell us about a green place that they've been with SCA or just by themselves or with their families. Most of them said that they liked going to the Phipps Conservatory which we've been to and enjoyed also, so we were able to talk with them about that too. After our discussion about some of the green places that we've been, we incorporated a little Q and A and passed out papers with information on them about those places, and pictures of those places also. They learned alot of things about Round Hill Farm, The Macoskey Center, The Carpenters Union, and the Jennings Environmental Center from the Q and A. Next we split the kids up into to groups, Doricka and Myself took the first group of kids to make t-shirts while Kayla and Sharon took the other to play games, then we switched so that they would be able to do both. They were really into decorating their shirts,and playing the games. They followed all our rules by staying positive, and not complaining. We ended the day with huddling in a circle and we all went around and told eachother our highs and lows of the day. It was awesome we really enjoyed ourselves and wouldn't mind going back anytime.
