It's Halle from Across the Hall in 2nd Grade, and I am so happy to share a little Mother's Day Love with you today!
Mother's Day is such a special holiday. I don't think it's a secret that being a mom is the hardest job on the planet!
Have you seen this video for "World's Toughest Job?" , it's pretty funny, but I imagine also 100% true!
I also love it because I get to honor and celebrate my mom. And maybe I'm partial, but she pretty much is the best mom. Ever.
To celebrate Mother's Day with my students we make a craft from my TpT store, "My Heart Blooms for Mom". (Want to win it? Make sure to comment on this post!!)
I love it because it's easy to prepare, and even though my students are all competing the same craft, they are incredibly personal and different because of their answers.
I'm actually ahead of the game for once, and my students already completed theirs. Here are a few examples:
Love their responses!
This year I bought enough seed packets for each one of my students to include with their craft.

| The ones I bought are not nearly this cute :( |
We'll place their flower pot in a gift bag, and throw in the seeds for good measure, and viola!, instant, adorable keepsake for mom!
I also have my students complete this adorable freebie from Martha Stewart. You can grab it here. We'll roll it up and tie it with a piece of twine.
I've had a few moms ask to laminate it, they love it so much!
And there you have it...how we get ready for Mother's Day in 2nd Grade!
Want to win a copy of "My Heart Blooms for Mom?"

I'll announce a winner on the Owl Facebook page tonight, so make sure you're a fan :)

We always used to go out to eat brunch on Mother's Day, but now I live in a different state from my mom :(. I added this to my cart, but am waiting to see if I win it first!

I love this activity! I always feel so overwhelmed by this time of year. This is easy for the teacher and any grade can do it!
ReplyDeleteWe usually go out to lunch on Mother's Day :-)
ReplyDeleteAll of the girls get together and take our mom out to lunch. We give her one of our favorite things as a little gift.

We go to church, eat lunch together, then plant all of our flowerpots.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I would love to do this activity over the next few days, with my library kiddo's.
ReplyDeleteOur family tradition has always been Church and brunch. My mother lives near me and all of my brothers (I have 5) and their families get together. It is one big group of over 46 of us, we usually get a room at the same local fare each year. I love how this tradition has grown to include not only me and my brother celebrating my mom but my sister in-laws and now my daughters and nieces who are now mothers. We all bring Nana her gifts and exchange and open gifts with all the mothers. It is a lovely way to share the day with family.
Happy Mothers Day to all.
