Then came the day when my oldest asked me to stop the note-writing because kids at school were trying to grab the notes and tease him about them. So, one day, I wrote the following and instructed my son to let his friends grab the note: "Dear [my son's] Classmates, I'm sorry that you feel the need to make fun of [my son] for having a mom who loves him. I thought maybe were are feeling left out, so I thought today I'd write a note to you guys instead. Have a Terrific Tuesday! Sincerely, Mrs. Howell." My son reported that they thought it was very funny and that they now felt that I was a "cool mom." I did the same thing when my younger son began having classmates who teased him. ☺ I love the idea posted by someone above who said she puts jokes in her child's lunch. I'm totally trying that!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08682017765369286126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848110156569017758.post-44755793943148541772013-09-24T18:44:57.998-04:002013-09-24T18:44:57.998-04:00I teach at the high school my kids attend.

To make her last year of high school and his first year special - about once a week, I would "break into" their lockers and leave them a love note and a little treat from Mom. Sometimes a pair of socks, or a car air freshener, a lint roller (don't ask...), gift card for coffee or a sandwich, fake mustaches at Homecoming, or just candy or a soda. They LOVED it! I decided to continue this year for our son. I love it and I think it makes having Mom around at school all the time more of a joy to them and hopefully a little less of a pain. Thanks for this post - gave me some more awesome ideas!

The first grader's teacher lets her read her joke to the class and reports that she is gaining lots of confidence by having that moment each day to shine. My fourth grader shares the jokes with his friends and they look forward to hearing it each day. I try and add a sweet note at the bottom most days, but I was getting repetitive. These are great ideas!Jewelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02231401356955639415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848110156569017758.post-45316094808168341342013-03-05T12:58:46.698-05:002013-03-05T12:58:46.698-05:00I have never put a note in my sons lunches because...I have never put a note in my sons lunches because they pack their own, but I literally teared up reading the list!!
