We usually filled them with popcorn and gum drops. We took them to school to share with our friends, and after school my parents took us to a few houses that we had picked out and allowed us to put a special May basket on or by their front door. Depending on our age, we either wrote them a special note or had our parents help us with the special personal note. This really ties in with respect, and I have included 7 examples of ways to show respect:
They Listen to You. There is a difference between listening and hearing…My challenge for you this week is to share a May basket (or a thank you note) with someone to show them how much you respect them.
