Financial Accounting/Add Sheets Four of the RB assignments are for updating your financial records.

Financial Accounting/Add Sheets You can find some tools for completing your financial records in FOLDERS.

Financial Accounting/Add Sheets One option for the financial accounting requirement. Simply download the blank form. Complete it. Upload it. Download your OWN form and reupload each time the assignment is due.

RBing: Year in Review The “Year in Review” is one of the last RB assignments.

The Permanent Record Book (PRB) The PRB is the last assignment. Accessing an Edmodo-based PRB requires joining another Edmodo group. The leader will give you this code.

PRB Assignments 13 assignments in the PRB group form the basis of the 4-Hers’ permanent record.

PRB Example Here is an example of a 4- Hers’ list of public presentations from her PRB. Unlike the annual RB, the 4- Her updates the PRB every year. This way it creates a permanent record of the 4- Hers’ career.

Planner By clicking on the “Blue 30” you can access a calendar. RB assignment deadlines will display here. Leaders can post events and activities. You can make “task lists” in the box called, “someday.”
