Ms. Melissa's Crazy Kids! : Week of May 6, 2013 Celebrating our Mum's

Happy Mother’s Day!

This week we celebrated our Mommy’s and learned about how special they are. We really appreciate everything they do for our little worlds and us.

Monday we painted wooden picture frames and put our favorite picture inside. Tuesday we made a foot flower corsage. Wednesday and Thursday we decorated our brown bag and filled it with goodies. Friday we painted our rock paper weights, so mommy can remember us while at work.

Throughout the week we explored the outdoors by digging, raking, sorting and water play.

This week we also welcomed Wallach to Eco Baby Childcare :o)
