Do you plan to have your students make Mother's Day cards this year? They probably
made them the last year with their teacher from the previous grade.
Are you looking for a new Mother's Day art and craft idea to use with your students
that is unique and different? Every mother loves to receive flowers on Mother's Day!
This Mother's Day lesson activity contains unique flower templates for your students
to write inside of.
You can have your students write a loving message inside their flower template,
or they can write a Mother's Day poem inside their flower. There are 3 different
flower templates, so your students could complete more than one type of written response.
Do you want to make sure that your students use correct spelling, punctuation,
capitalization, and grammar in their Mother's Day cards and poems before
you send them home to give to their mothers?
I prefer to send home Mother's Day art projects that contain the fewest
errors as possible. For this reason, my student's complete their Mother's
Day creative writing assignments on a first draft worksheet to begin with. I
help my students edit their first drafts before they start on their final
draft flower templates.
Below is an example of the first draft worksheets that are provided in
these Mother's Day teaching resources.
I have put two first drafts on each paper to
save you paper in photocopying these worksheets. You can cut them in half,
and give each student one. If you are having your students write a loving
message in one flower and a poem in the other, then you can give each
student one worksheet.
After your students have completed their first drafts and edited them, you
can give your students their final draft flowers and stem templates.
I have designed three different types of flower templates for these
Mother's Day lesson activities. I like to print out all three templates
and let my students select which flower they like the best to give to their mothers.
I have all of my students complete one flower to bring home to their
mothers. Then, I have a stack of first draft worksheets and final
draft templates on a table at the back of my room. During the week,
if students complete their work early, they can use their free time
to make another flower for their mother.
I have provided color flower templates for you to use as your examples
that you show to your students as you are introducing this Mother's Day
lesson activity to them.
Below you will find examples of the three Mother's Day flower templates
in color and black and white.
There are three different stem templates with leaves on them in this set of Mother's Day
lesson plans. Students write their names in the stem. Students glue
their flower template on top of the stem template.
I have my students make two copies of their Mother's Day
flowers. They take one flower home to give to their mothers, and with
the second flower, I make a Mother's Day bulletin board display in my classroom.
This teaching resource set contains a 5 page bulletin board display banner.
There are 12 smaller flowers that you can use as accent pieces on
your bulletin board display. The banner and the flowers have a general red
color theme to match with the idea of red roses, which are a common flower
to give to mothers on Mother's Day.

Your lesson plans for Stellaluna, Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas have saved me so much planning time this year. My Gr. 3 students really enjoyed completing the projects that you designed for each of these books. I was able to create great Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas displays in my classroom this year with their projects. Thanks for sharing your ideas and for saving me time.

My students loved your seasonal powerpoint games for Halloween and Thanksgiving. They thought they were playing a game instead of reviewing grammar ;-) I've already purchased all of your other holiday powerpoint lesson plans. Keep making more of these great activities, more POWER to you Heidi!

I just wanted to say thank you for the most amazing teaching resources that I have ever come across in my thirty years of teaching. I have used many of your book report sets this year and my students absolutely loved them. What was particularly pleasing was seeing some of my reluctant readers (especially the boys) really wanting to read books and complete the activities. Keep up the great work!

I feel so fortunate to have found your website and I have referred several of my co-workers to your website. Just for the month of January, there were three teachers displaying your book reports. I had the trophy reports, my neighbor to the left had the computer reports, and my neighbor to the right had the birthday cake reports. Thank you so very much for all of your work!

I'm writing to tell you that my students just finished the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory group projects. They worked so hard, and the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory projects turned out great! We had them to show for student led conferences. The parents were very impressed, and so were many of the other teachers and my principal. They all commented on my students' work and your creative templates. My students had so much fun doing these projects. I also used the multiplication pizza sticker charts. My students loved those as well!! Thank you so much for all of your amazing products.

I want to write and tell you that I love the resources that you make and share with us, they have truly been helpful to me and my students. I have been teaching grammar rules in a more exciting way, and I owe it all to you. Your grammar powerpoint lessons have been such a blessing! Thank you very much!

Thank you so much for letting me know about the new book report templates. I have been anxiously watching for the house book report project to be posted on your site, so I was excited to be able to purchase it today. It is absolutely adorable. I must tell you that I have received so many compliments from other teachers this year about my students' book reports that I have displayed in our school halls. Thank you again for all of your wonderful ideas....you make my life so much easier as a teacher!

My students are working on their Charlie and Chocolate Factory projects that I bought on your website. One of my students said how nice the other character wheels were and he said, "Besides this is just fun!" Not bad for a third grade boy!!

Just wanted to say thank you so much for your wonderful site and the excellent resources that you provide at such reasonable prices. I purchased and used your lesson plans for the The Giving Tree with my students, and it was a blast. Thanks again!

Simply stated, I LOVE YOUR BOOK REPORT SETS!!!!!!! I'm interested in purchasing them ALL!!!! I've been looking for something like this for quite some time. My students are so excited about reading this year, and it is all because of your fun projects!

I am in awe of what you have accomplished and created for those of us teaching in the public sector. Good for you for taking time off and self publishing. Your enthusiasm is contagious and your generosity is amazing. I recently provided a reading in-service for the K-5 staff at my school. I listed your website as a "must" to visit.
Thanks you for your expertise, creativity, and heartfelt enthusiasm. You are an inspiration to new and veteran teachers and a model for those of us who have not had the guts to go out on our own. You did it!!! I suggest that you go on the speaking circuit and share your knowledge and creativity at the International Reading Association Meetings and the State Reading Associations.
