Magic Wands, Chicken Dance and Tea

This post is a little late but I had to share these photos from Josiah's class Mother's Day Tea. It was such a precious occasion and the teachers really went all out. My neighbor downstairs watched Annette (who weaseled her way out of nap time) so I could really focus on Josiah.  

 The kids made all the moms crowns and magic wands. Then they sang some songs for us. His teacher skillfully integrated their current "Bird" unit with the tea. So we did the Chicken Dance together (flashbacks to the rollar rink circa 1992) and played a game where the "Baby Birds" were blindfolded and had to identify which mom's voice was calling their name. It was pretty cute.

Next each mom had to find themselves in a portrait drawn by their child. I certainly had an advantage in this game as a blonde. Plus, it looks just like me.  Obviously. 

 In the end they served us some us some food and presented us each with flowers. Happy Mother's Day!
