Kat....what are your student's making for mother's day?

[MaryL]

Do you usually do a gift....or just a card? I'm wishing that some dandelions would grow...because I came across the cutest poem for a mother's day card about those pesky weeds! It'd be a cute gift...the poem, and a picture of each kid holding some flowers.

Mommy,

Guessing your favorite flower
Shouldn't be all that hard.
I'll bet they're green and yellow
And grow all over the yard.

I only pick the special ones
Because they're just for you.
They're my way of saying thanks
For everything you do!

And even if these flowers
Only seem to last for a day,
The love that they are given with
Will always be there to stay.

For when it comes to picking
The mommy that's the best,
In my precious little eyes
"You" stand out from all the rest.

(Sorry... I don't know the author! But isn't this adorable???)

We do a cute little poem about fingerprints on walls. I thought I could find ds's but in my quit search didn't find it. I'll post it here Monday or Tuesday depending on how this strep treats me.

But we copy the poem onto wall paper scraps, then mount it behind an oval tagboard cut out, then mount that to a coordinating tag board. Finally we paint the kids hands and place them on the finished product. It's very cute and suitable for framing.

I also make potporri using everyones leftover flowers throughout the year. Mix it up and add new oil and put it in cellophane bags tied with pretty ribbon.
