A Celebration of Mom

What a superb job the 1st graders did reciting their poems, singing their songs, and remembering their lines for the momisms. Most of the moms commented on how impressed they were that the students remembered some many songs and poems in addition to the movements. Well, there is no denying that they did a awe-inspiring job, but I think it is the movements that helped the students to remember the words. Keep that in mind when you are trying to remember or learn something...add some movement to really get your brain ignited. I think it also helped that the students thought it was fun and they could connect to the performance because it was for their special moms. But it wasn't just a performance for the students, they created flowers and vases by reusing common things found around the house, wrote their own poems and stories about mom, and did some amazing artwork. It was absolutely a fantastic, fabulous, fun-filled Friday! What did you do for mom at home to celebrate her love and caring for you?
