What is a Cover Kid? Here's how the Urbandale Schools' website explains it:
"As a way to continue strengthening relationships and building connections with younger students, Karen Acres Elementary implemented the Iowa 4-H Clover Kids program this year as a pilot program for the school. The aim of the program has been to foster the development of life skills that are essential for the cognitive, social, emotional, and physical maturation of kindergarten through third grade students. The Karen Acres Clover Kids Club has averaged approximately 20 students participating in the Club for one afternoon after school each week."
I'd say Clover Kids is 4-H's version of Cub Scouts and/or Brownies. We think that it is cool that Clover Kids is co-ed. They met every Wednesday after school for an hour.
Clover Kids had an open house on Wednesday to end the year.
Char painted her feelings by using color to represent emotions. She didn't remember how she felt when she painted this, but she thought maybe she was happy?
This collage represents what Char wants for her future self. Somebody else likes shiny things.
It wasn't all art projects. She got to try different types of healthy snacks. She was visited by police officers and fire fighters. The Clover Kids built a roller coaster, and they even tried yoga.
Char and Mom tried their hand at coding using "the bee".
Urbandale is going to continue offering Clover Kids next year, but the club will not meet as often. That's okay, we're just glad they are going to offer the program at all. Charlotte really enjoyed being a Clover Kid this year.
