Why Should We Do Record Books:
- To learn how to set goals, how to make plans for action and how to evaluated yourself
- To learn skills of organization that can be used now and in the future
- To learn to communicate and summarize
- To learn responsibilty by completing a task
- This is a great way to look back on all you have done through out 4-H! We promise one day you will be glad you pushed through and completed these books!
Record Keeping Tips
-
As you work on your record books, particularly your project records, you need to keep in mind the difference between a project and an exhibit.
- Project Areas: This is a specific project area you would like to learn more about throughout your year in 4-H. Therre are 42 different project areas to chose from. They are: Beef, Dairy Cattle, Dairy Goats, Dog, Bottle Calf, Horse & Pony, Meat Goats, Pets, Poultry, Rabbit, Sheep, Swine, Veterinary Sciece, Music, Photography, Visual Arts, Horticulture, Crop Production, Child Development, Clothing, Food & Nutrition, Consumer Management, Health, Home Improvement, Sewing, Citizenship, Communication, Digital Storytelling, Leadership, Self Determined, Mechanics & Design, Woodworking, Science, Engineering and Technology, Outdoor Adventures, Safety & Education in Shooting Sports, Environment and Sustainablity
-
Exhibits: This is an outgrowth of what you learned in your project area. This is what you bring to the County Fair to have evaluated by a judge such as a photograph or a market steer.
- You do NOT have to complete a Project Record for each of your fair exhibits. For example: You may have taken three photographs and a visual arts project to the County Fair with four different Indoor Judging Day Write-Ups. For your record book, however, you only need to complete one Project Record for Creative Arts.
