6/14/2023 0 Comments Lunch box notes for kindergarten![]() Your little sisters love you so much, and I can see why. “I’ve noticed lately that you’ve been such a sweet and attentive sister. ![]() I use them most often in two situations: one, when a kid has done something extra awesome lately that I want to draw attention to and two, when they are struggling or down and I think that they could maybe use some kind words. I use these sparingly, so that they mean more when they get them. Your kids that are music-lovers will especially appreciate this one. Just turn on your radio or Pandora and write down a few lyrics. This idea is fun, easy, and there’s an endless supply of inspiration. “Love is an open doooooooor! I mean it’s crazy…what? We finish each other’s – sandwiches!…You – and I – we’re just meant to be!” “I’ve got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire, ‘Cause I am the champion, and you’re gonna hear me roooooaaaaar!!!” “HEY! I’m not giving up today! There’s nothing getting in my way, and if you knock knock me over – I will get back up again! If something goes a little wrong, well you can go ahead and bring it on! ‘Cause if you knock knock me over, I will get back up again!” “You are so beautiful…to me! Can’t you see? You’re everything I hoped for. “Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you…” Try writing a line from one of your (or their) favorite songs: There’s also a lot of songs that are of an inspiring nature. There’s a plentiful amount of love songs that have lines in them that will apply to your undying love for not only your spouse, but also your children. It was horrible, but my kids think I’m funny. ![]() Yesterday’s joke was “What do you get when a cow jumps on a trampoline?….A milk shake!” I even drew a picture of a cow on a trampoline. My kids love these, and share them with their friends at the lunch table and often come home and talk about how much they loved the joke that day. Right now I have a few screen shots saved to my phone with several good jokes just waiting to be used. Sometimes when I’m feeling out of creative inspiration, I turn to the internet and google “kids’ jokes” and write the riddle on one side, and the punchline on the back. □ĭo you see how easy this is? You can come up with something working around this silly rhyme in 10 seconds flat and your kids think will think you’re clever and hilarious. This one was extra special, complete with a mint. You know the nursery rhyme “Roses are red, violets are blue…” Well, you can change it up easily to make a cute little rhyme to fit your whim of the day, and it give you a foundation to work with. I have ONE rhyme that I fall back on again and again (sometimes 2 or 3 times a week) that I change up to fit my whim. No, I’m not telling you to write a sonnet off the top of your head. But you don’t need all that, if you don’t have it. ![]() If you want to get fancy with cute paper and fun pens, that’s an extra nice touch. To start, all you need are some sticky notes and a pen. I know that might seem overwhelming (and sometimes it really is, I won’t lie) but I do it because it has been so important for them.īut how can you think of something new to write every single day of the school year?īelow I’m giving you a few ideas for ways to keep lunchbox notes fun and fresh for all 180 days of the year for your kids, and less stressful for you. I put a note in my kids’ lunches every day. Every mom has at one time or another put notes in their kids’ lunch boxes. I know that this isn’t a new idea at all. I’ve found that for us, the best way to do this is through lunchbox notes. You can use this opportunity to not only connect with their stomachs, but also to reconnect with their minds and hearts. Once a day, your child will open that box or bag from home to fill up on the nutritious foods that you’ve packed for them. What I am offering is a few ideas of how to use their lunch to reconnect with your kids. You are welcome to post your great ideas about that in the comments below (hint, hint). Well, I wish I could tell you that I have some great ideas to take all of the stress out of planning and packing school lunch…I don’t. Will they feel left out if I don’t put cookies in their lunch? Will they get made fun of because I put a hard-boiled egg in there? It’s hard to balance both the health and fun factors. Packing school lunch.Īm I the only one that feels their blood pressure rising just thinking about this daily task? For some reason, it just really stresses me out.
