Happy Mother's Day
to all of the beautiful and loving Mothers
and especially to mine!
Today’s post is dedicated to our special
Mothers and Mother’s Day gifts.
Our students created some art from their hearts
and I couldn’t help but photograph the stunning
results before sending them home!
We decided to paint some Cherry Blossom
Trees for our moms to celebrate the arrival of
Spring. This work was inspired by an idea
that I saw on Pinterest:

Our students used the image from Pinterest (enlarged on the Smart
Board) to create our version of these trees. We did not follow the
tutorial, but will try the steps for our next trees soon!

Aren't they all so exquisite and
unique?
To try and connect with our learning about
Spring, I recently visited High Park to see the
Japanese Cherry Blossoms. I will be sharing
them with the students tomorrow and will
document their theories about the beauty found
within the natural world that surrounds us.
These photographs will also act as the
spark for our final inquiry: Butterflies,
Blossoms, and Natural Beauty.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the
mommies out there from my heart to
yours!
