I hope everyone has been doing well, and that all you moms out there had a lovely Mother's Day this past Sunday!
Mother's Day was a pretty big deal in our pre-kindergarten class (as it should be because Moms are pretty awesome!) and we wanted to show and tell our moms how much we love and appreciate all that they do for us. So, to start off, we made tea cup invitations a few weeks ago inviting all our moms, aunts, and grandmothers to our Mother's Day Tea Party. Then on the Friday before Mother's Day, we hosted our Mother's Day Tea Party.
All the students made picture planting pots for their moms, cards, and they each filled out a survey for their mom and some students filled out a survey for their grandmothers. Their answers to the surveys were absolutely hilarious! I love the fact that they think we are all much younger and weight much lighter than we actually do.
We started off our tea party by reading, Love You Forever , by Robert Munsch, to our moms. There was a repeated phrase in the book which all the students help say aloud to their moms.
"I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be."

After we read, Love You Forever, we sang two songs and read a poem to our moms, then we had our tea party, and the students each gave their Mother's Day gift to their moms.
I'd say that our Mother's Day party was an absolute success, and that both the students and their moms all enjoyed the celebration! =D
Below I posted the lyrics to the songs we sang, the poem we read, and an example of our mother's day gift.

Below I posted the lyrics to the songs we sang, the poem we read, and an example of our mother's day gift.
Song: i love you mommyTo the tune of, You Are My Sunshine. "I love you mommy My dearest mommy You make me happy When I am sad I want to tell you How much I love you When I'm with you I'm oh so glad!" | Poem: Mother dear"Mother Dear, Can you guess? Who it is.... That love you best? I'll give you 3 guesses 1, 2, 3... There! I knew youd' think of me." | song: mommy takes good care of meTo the tune of, Mary Had a Little Lamb. "Mommy takes good care of me Care of me, care of me Mommy takes good care of me Because she loves me so." |
DISCLAIMER: We did not come up with the lyrics on our own, and I am unsure of who wrote the songs or who the actual author of the poem is.
