5/1 Happy Mother Goose Day! While the origins of Mother Goose are a bit vague, a day
has been set aside to foster reading and learning through nursery rhymes. You
can read your most treasured nursery rhymes, act them out or try creating one
of your own!
5/5 Cinco de Mayo: In the U.S., Cinco de Mayo has
evolved into a commemoration of Mexican culture and heritage
5/7 Teachers play a pivotal part in our children’s lives. Do
you remember your favorite teacher? These challenging times make it difficult to
share those special smiles and hugs but you can encourage your child to create
a card or email a fun photo of themselves and their family doing a fun activity
together or sharing a photo of an activity their teacher shared. National
Teacher Appreciation Week!
5/10 Mother’s Day is
here, are your children looking to pamper you with breakfast in bed?? Here is a
simple breakfast
they can put together themselves. (Use frozen mini pancakes to make cleanup
even easier!!)
Although I personally prefer handmade
gifts. If you want to splurge during
this pandemic here are a few ideas from cnet.com
5/17 Pizza is one of
Americas favorite meals. National Pizza Party Day is held on the 3rd
Friday in May as a way to get together with friends and family to have fun and
share some pizza together!
5/21 Fact: Strawberries are the only fruit with the seeds on
the outside. While learning about Strawberries on Strawberries
and Cream Day, why not make yourself a treat?
5/29 Invented in 1899 the paper clip has been used to clip
papers together for well over a century later. The paperclip has stayed true to
its purpose. On National
Paperclip Day, try your hand at some Paper Clip Art!
May Snacks and Crafts
Bring out the inner chef and artist in
your child. Try your hand at these with your children!
5/1 Need Mary Had a Little Lamb craft?
Make a lamb!
You need cotton balls, paper, glue, googly eyes and your child can make their
own flock! You can hide the flock and your child can play the part of Mary and
go and find them!
5/7 Looking for a way to have your little one create
something beautiful for their favorite teachers? Take a look at these creative
cards you can help them design as a way to say thank you!
5/12 Children get SOOOOO
excited to celebrate and do something special for their parents but very often
don’t know what they can do. Grab some inexpensive supplies and encourage them
to create a special card for Mother’s Day
of their own. Here is a simple craft they can make all by themselves!
5/17 Do your kids love pizza? Make Octopus
Pizza to encourage your child to try something new on their pizza!
5/21 Looking for something different to try for dessert? How
about this Mexican
Strawberries and Cream (Fresas Con Crema) dessert your whole family can
help make and enjoy!
5/29 A simple little craft to assemble on National Paper
Clip Day are Button
Bookmarks! They require materials you likely have at home! A jar of these
would be great end of the year gift for your child’s teachers!!!
Please take pictures of your activities and
share them with your classrooms! We would love to see what you create!!
