A Special Surprise for Mother's Day

Introduction

Good morning, class! Today, we are going to start our lesson with a very special topic: Mother's Day! This is a day when we get to show our love and appreciation for our wonderful mothers or anyone who acts like a mother figure in our lives. How many of you are excited to learn more about this special day?

Activity: "Blooming with Gratitude"

To kick off our lesson, we’re going to do a fun activity called "Blooming with Gratitude." Here’s how it works:

1. Materials Needed:

   • A sheet of paper
   • Crayons or markers
   • Scissors
   • Glue

2. Instructions:

   • First, take a piece of paper and fold it in half. This will be the card we’re making for Mother's Day.
   • On the front of the card, draw a beautiful flower or something that reminds you of your mom. You can also write the words "Happy Mother's Day!" inside your drawing.
   • Now, on the inside of the card, write a few sentences about why your mom is special to you. You can think about:
     • Something nice she does for you.
     • A funny memory you share with her.
     • A quality you admire in her (like being kind or funny).
   • Decorate the inside with more drawings or little stickers if you want!

3. Share Your Thoughts:

   • Once you have finished making your card, we’ll gather in a circle, and I’d like you to share one thing you wrote about your mom with the class. It doesn’t have to be long—just a few words!

Conclusion

Let’s remember that Mother's Day is not just about giving gifts, but also about expressing love and gratitude. So during this lesson, we’ll explore not only how to write and share our feelings, but also creative ways to celebrate those we love. Are you ready to get started? Let’s show our moms how much they mean to us!
