Make a gratitude card for your mother/grandmother to thank her for at least five things that she does for you. Also write two things that you would do regularly to help them. Use recycled material to make and decorate the card. Write your own message.
Sample gratitude card message:
Dear Mother,
Thank you for:
- Cooking delicious and healthy meals for me every day
- Helping me with my studies and homework
- Taking care of me when I am sick
- Always encouraging me to do my best
- Loving me unconditionally
Two things I will do regularly to help you:
- I will keep my room clean and tidy without being reminded
- I will help you with household chores like washing dishes and folding clothes
Thank you for everything you do for me. You are my inspiration.
With love, [Student's name]
The card should be made using recycled materials like old greeting cards, newspapers, or cardboard, decorated with drawings, stickers, or pressed flowers.
