We had a fantastic long and sunny weekend, and my heart hurts at the thought that tomorrow Maddy goes back to school. I'm sure that one of these days, I'll get into the swing of things, but until then, I'll just have to keep sending her to school with little hugs.I sat down at the computer tonight to make some love notes for her lunch box for the next few days.
- Lunchbox Love Notes: These are very simple notes, and each has a picture to go along with it. I want them to be easy enough for Maddy to read. I made a few varieties on the same page--easy to print on one sheet and cut apart.
The Love Notes are here for friends to download and print out. Lunchbox Love Notes are here to download as a pdf if that's easier.Plus, I'm hoping that the simple text (with words she is familiar with) along with the tiny pictures will help her to decode these little messages. I know that will certainly be something she will feel proud about, and I hope to modify the template to add different messages as her word bank increases throughout the school year.
She is working so hard at being a good Kindergartner. I know she's tired by the end of the day; by Friday of last week, she was beat.
If a tiny note at lunch that says, Good job! puts a smile on her face or reminds her of how proud we are, then these little love notes will have done their job!
Keep this on the d.l., but I think I'll even stick a few of the "I love you" ones into my husband's lunch bag before he leaves for work! I might even be note crazy by the end of the week, and I may make some for Owen and Cora to find around the house. . .
Very sweet. C still has another week before he starts Kindergarten so I have time to make these. I'm going to be very teary-eyed; I may need a note in my lunch.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! B isn't in school yet but I can only imagine how hard it will be. I hope these notes help you both through the transition!
ReplyDeleteI just finished writing my daughter a note for her lunchbox. I love these notes though. Very sweet!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet mommy you are. I use to do this all the time for my kids even when I homeschooled them. I forgot about it until you reminded me. I have to get started with Selena. Thank you!
ReplyDeletei do this for my girl, too! she saved all of them in the bottom of her lunchbox! i also put in a hershey kiss, too! since she passed her peanut test, she wants a peanut butter cup--not exactly the same sentiment, but at least she's happy!
ReplyDeleteI wrote my daughter a note today for her first day of Junior Kindergarten! Thanks for these, they are good for when I don't have time to write a note myself!
