Here’s a friendly letter template I put together recently. It would be perfect to use for Grandparents Day, Mother’s Day or Father’s Day. This could be nice final copy paper for your students’ letters. Or it could be for any letter… a thank you letter, a pen pal letter, you name it. It’s pretty basic. Enjoy!

Here’s a simple idea for a Mother’s Day card. Easy prep, easy to complete, and fun for moms to receive!
1. Fold a piece of construction paper into a card (you can use the regular size or the 11″ x 17″ size).
2. Complete this page (click here: Mother’s Day card – inside) and glue it inside. NOTE: The PDF file has 2 different sizes for you to choose from, depending on how big you;re making the card.
3. Decorate the outside. Ta-da!
Here’s a free worksheet for kids that discusses the history and significance of Mother’s Day. Reading comprehension questions at the bottom. A huge thank you to all those loving moms out there!
