Mother’s Day Craft

I had the kids bring in puzzles that were missing pieces and we made frames for our Mother's Day craft. The frame is just four popsicle sticks glued together and painted. I glued a piece of construction paper to the back and they painted one large puzzle piece for the picture to go on in the middle of the frame. I printed off the wording "I just love you to pieces." Then we made envelopes for the frames to go in and decorated them with this flower. The envelope is just a folded large sheet of pink construction paper with the sides glued and the top folded down. What kind of Mother's Day crafts do you have your kids make?

    

                                       

                                         

Kindergarten Graduation

We are preparing for the big day Kindergarten Graduation!  We have three Kindergarten classes, each class recites a poem, and we sing three songs.  The songs we sing are The Kindergarten Class, First Grade, First Grade, and You're a Grand Old School.  Then we call each students' name and they walk across the stage and tell everyone what they want to be when they grow up. 

Click on the picture above for a link to all of the words to the poems, words to songs and motions to go with them, diploma, invitation, and teacher poem to students.  This also gives the details of the program that we put on.  I would love to hear ideas of what you do for Kindergarten Graduation. 

                          This is the video I made so my students can practice singing the songs each day.
