To celebrate Mother's Day (5/12) and Parents' Day (5/24), the 3A children decided to make something special for their parents.
At first, we took all of our beautiful mommies' pictures, or asked them for selfies, then drew our mommies' portraits by using colored crayons. Before we began drawing our mommies' faces, we looked at the pictures carefully and talked about mommies' hair colors, eye colors, hair lengths, earrings, glasses, etc. The children chose the colors that they thought complemented their mommies' features and completed the drawing. The entire process was so loving and joyful. Seeing how the children thought of their mommies was very loving and touching. It almost seemed like they did not realize how much they actually missed their mommies and daddies while they were at school. With the children's drawings, we also made a riddle on the hallway wall, Can you guess whose mommy I am. By looking at the drawing, mommies and daddies have to guess which mommy is which. Once you make your pick, you can flip over the drawing to find the actual picture of the mommy! It was a huge surprise for all our families! It was so great to see all of our parents and children looking so happy.
For parents' day, we wanted to make something special that parents could keep in their offices or home. The 3A children made their own shapes with clay and wrote a loving message for their parents. Once the clay was dried, the children painted them with different colors. After a few touch ups by teachers (pasting picture and polishing the keepsake), they turned into wonderful gifts for parents.
We thank you and love you parents!
