Our Mother's Day Birdhouses

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

M - O - T - H - E - R

space"M" is for the million things she gave me,
space"O" means only that she's growing old,
space"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
space"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
space"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
space "R" means right, and right she'll always be,
 

Put them all together, they spell
"MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.

 

Howard Johnson (c. 1915)

     To help our Mothers celebrate Mother's Day, each of us in our class designed a card and wrote an acrostic poem verse using the work M-O-T-H-E-R. In addition, we had great fun making these birdhouses using six flower seed packages.

     Many students reported on Monday that the Moms loved the cards, cried over our meaningful verses, and thought our birdhouses were clever.
