Our Mom’s do lots of amazing things! They are incredible and strong people who do whatever they can to help us! Mother’s Day is on Sunday May 10th and while you may do something special this day or if you spread it out and do special things for your mom every day, today I would like you to do one of the following:
-Make a card for your Mom. It doesn’t have to be anything super fancy, but of course, if you would like to make it fancy go for it! Make sure you write Mom, Mum or whatever you call her at the top. Write a message to her. Think about what she does for you, what you can say thank you for, why she is special to you, what you like to do with her… Write who the card is from at the bottom! You can write From: or Love: …. Draw a picture and decorate!
-Write a letter to your Mom and write about what she means to you! Why is she special? What makes her a great mom? What do you love about her? What does she do that makes you happy?
Here are some stories that talk about the love between moms and their kids and how much they do for them to make sure they’re happy and looked after.
Here is a video to listen to the book “Love You Forever” by Robert Munsch and Sheila McGraw, it’s a very powerful story about the love between a mother and her child: Read aloud
Here is another video to listen to the book “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein. This book has many meanings and messages, but one message that you might take away from it is how much a mom gives to their child without thinking of themselves. Listen to the story and see what you think! Video
*You do not need to submit a photo of your child’s card or letter for Mother’s Day as some kids like to keep it private because it’s so special!
Here is an example with some sentence starters if you need them!
To: Mom
Thank you for everything you do for me. I love that we…..
You are special to me because….
Happy Mother’s Day!
I love you.
