Memorial Day

happy-memorial-day1

Memorial Day is a patriotic holiday in the United States of America, celebrated on the last Monday in May.  It is a celebration of remembrance for the brave service of men and women who gave their lives for their country. Memorial Day was declared a federal holiday in 1971. We now, designate this day to remember loved ones who have passed on, as well as remembering our service men and women. Flowers and flags are placed on graves in remembrance of them.

Here are a couple of links to website that have activities you can do with the children in honor of Memorial Day.

Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is celebrated each year in the U.S. on the second Sunday in May.  This year that is May 10th.

It is always a nice gesture to do something for your host mom. You could help the children make a surprise for her or give her a card yourself.  Any gesture is appreciated.

Don’t forget to send a special message to your own mom back home.  Without her love and support, you wouldn’t be here today.

You will find great ideas for projects you can make with your host children here on the Au Pair in America Mother’s Day Pinboard.

Wishing a Happy Mother’s Day to all the host moms in our cluster!
