Welcome May! The Month of the Mothers

We get three major holidays this month.

  • May 5 – Cinco de Mayo
  • May 11 – Mother’s Day
  • May 26 – Memorial Day

Today is Cinco de Mayo, and in six days we will all be celebrating together a very “Happy Mother’s Day!”

As is traditional on our site, we always welcome our months with a poem. Not all poems rhyme, but children usually love it when they do. Therefore, have some fun this month with all the simple one syllable words that rhyme with our month.
