Welcome to the "Ma' Spa!"
I found this very cute idea on Pinterest and on a fabulous blog called Lesson Plan S.O.S. I prepped all of the supplies I needed, and I made up a Shopping List for my students to use as they browsed for the materials they needed to create their Mother's Portraits. My 4th graders had a great time with this activity, and I even made a portrait of my mom too.
Enjoy the pictures below,
and Happy Mother's Day to all of you!
