Marvelous MOMS!

We all have many wonderful people taking care of us, supporting us, and loving us. We are especially blessed to have our moms in our lives! The children have spent the past week preparing a few very special surprises for Mother's Day!

Last week we had a ball preparing some Lemon Sugar Hand Scrub to pamper our moms. Rub a dollop on your hands, scrub under warm water, and rinse. It would even be a special treat for tired feet, too! It smells good enough to eat, and some students couldn't resist a few licks of their stir sticks! Good thing the mixture contains all natural ingredients: olive oil, sugar, lemon juice and lemon extract. 

Because we obviously couldn't call upon our team of reliable mom helpers to assist with this top secret project, Mrs. Beliveau's mom and her good friend came in. Who knew Mrs. Beliveau had a mom?

We put together very special cards for our moms, too. Several pages of sweet and funny thoughts and pictures fill these little treasure books. Here are a few creative gems from the pages of the students' cards:

Happy Mother's Day to each and every mom! 

You are a gift in your child's life!
