Art from our Hearts

Happy Mother's Day 

to all of the beautiful and loving Mothers 

and especially to mine!

Today’s post is dedicated to our special 

Mothers and Mother’s Day gifts. 

Our students created some art from their hearts 

and I couldn’t help but photograph the stunning 

results before sending them home!

We decided to paint some Cherry Blossom 

Trees for our moms to celebrate the arrival of 

Spring.  This work was inspired by an idea 

that I saw on Pinterest:

Our students used the image from Pinterest (enlarged on the Smart

Board) to create our version of these trees.  We did not follow the

tutorial, but will try the steps for our next trees soon!



Thank you to Tammy from the Blog:

Housing a Forest: Learn, Create, Experiment

Aren't they all so exquisite and 

unique?

 To try and connect with our learning about 

Spring, I recently visited High Park to see the 

Japanese Cherry Blossoms.  I will be sharing

 them with the students tomorrow and will 

document their theories about the beauty found 

within the natural world that surrounds us.  

These photographs will also act as the 

spark for our final inquiry: Butterflies, 

Blossoms, and Natural Beauty.

 

Happy Mother’s Day to all the 

mommies out there from my heart to 

yours!
