Here is the OLD version :)
I had each student tell me their favorite food that their mom makes, then dictate how she makes it. Their submission was accompanied with a picture of the child wearing a chef's hat as well as a brief bio.
Here are some of the entries from past years:
Here is the updated, editable booklet:

As a separate activity, I had each student answer questions about their mom, and I filled in their answers.
She was BANG ON with her answers (well, besides my height, lol)
Most students were not bang on.
In fact, I wonder if they've even met their mothers.

Apparently, most moms prefer to shop at: the grocery store.
Favorite thing to do: play with me, closely followed by nap.
Age of most moms: 16

SO CUTE
Over the past couple of years, I nixed the cookbook and expanded on the questionnaire portion, turning it into a Mother's Day booklet.
These booklets are not nearly so labor-intensive, yet are totally adorable and provide a special glimpse of each Mom through their 5-year old's eyes!
Here are a few sample pages:

Hope someone out there can use it! Let me know if you do :)
I LOVE the Mother's Day interview....they crack me up. I also do "My mom weighs...." It is amazing how many moms out there weigh 3 pounds! Haha

This is adorable, Anita! I'm going to pass it along to the JK teachers at my school - they do a big Mother's Day Tea and a booklet not nearly as nice as this one :)

Super cute! I might use a version of it. One of my favorite gifts was when a mom interviewed my class for me and asked them how old/tall I was, what is something I say, what I like/don't like. Then she put it all in a cute scrapbook.
ReplyDeleteAnita, I am definitely doing this idea this year! It is totally cute! I don't know if you're interested, but I just did a post on multicultural Cinderella books with some freebies. If you have a second, I'd love it if you could stop by my blog.
