Story - Time Language Arts Activity Book Help

HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY TO ALL

On the Eve of our big day, let's take a moment to remember Mothers everywhere. Everybody - Everywhere has, or has had a mother....
"Mothers Give Unconditionally.." - it's as simple as that - and they give us SO MUCH. I think we should be Grateful and Thankful for them - not just tomorrow but for a moment every day remember just how lucky we are, and thank God.

Story Time
Due to getting ready for tomorrow's celebration we did not have time to read last week's story , "The Little Red Hen" We will be coming back to it.
This week our theme is Zoo Animals. Our story is:

“My Mother is Mine”

This story gives us some descriptions of different animals’ characters. For example, the bear cub says about its mother; “My mother is brave.” The wolf cub says; “My mother sings high and sweet”. The fish says its mother is pretty…. The lamb says its mother is soft. Each baby animal has something nice to say about its mother. The kitten notes that its mother still loves it even when it misbehaves!
All of these characteristics can be said about all mothers…..animal and human too. Everyone’s own mother is special to them - the last lines of the story emphasize this by saying;
“My mother is special, my mother is fine.
My mother, my mother, my mother is mine”.

It fits well with our Celebration.

Story Time

Another story we will be reading is called: "Dear Zoo" - in this a young child wants a pet animal to keep and live with them at home. - so he writes to the Zoo to send him a pet. The Zoo sends some very unsuitable animals to the boy - but if they asre unsuitable he sends the animals back - then the Zoo sends another - sent back - sends another.... until finally a cute puppy dog is sent and the boy finds him 'Just Perfect') and wants to keep it.

I hope you will enjoy the stories - and the Mothers' Day Celebration.
