Team Tiger! (a little bit of homework)

Hello Tiger Families! I missed seeing everyone last night. It’s hard to believe that the schools are closing again because of COVID. It feels like deja vu! However, I’m confident that things will be back to normal soon. I have some “homework” to help us stay on track towards earning our Tiger Advancement by the end of May. We will now start working on TEAM TIGER! Because we missed last week, I would like for you as a family to work on Adventure requirement #1: “With your parent, guardian, or other caring adult talk about what it means to be part of a team. List some of the teams you are on (your den, your class, your family, sports team etc..), and explain how you…
