Mother's Day

Just wanted to do a short post to show what the kids worked on for Mother's Day. We have been super busy this week practicing for our recognition program, preparing our gift for Mr. Yu and making final touches on our art museum... But yesterday and today we took some time our to think about our moms. This year since we were learning about plants we planted flowers in a pot and of course made cards.

We had a fun discussion as students wrote a poem about their moms. Line 1 said "My mom is as pretty as..." Some responses were a rainbow, a rose, a flower, a butterfly and even a kitten. Line 2 said, "My mom is as sweet as..." The responses were a cupcake, candy, strawberries and even lemonade. Line 3 said, "My mom is as smart as..." We heard the president, a teacher, a scientist and my personal favorite BATMAN! And then they told what their mom was as special as.

To make their planter, students painted cans.

Today since it was so beautiful outside, Ms. West helped the kids put soil and their flower into their pot all while having a discussion about the parts of the plant.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful Mother's out there!
