If you need some last minute Mother's Day ideas for your classroom, read on to see some of my favorite Mother's Day ideas and resource to help you!
Here's Some Mother's Day Fun and a Freebie Too!
Mother's Day is Sunday, May 9th this year.
Mother's Day is a day to celebrate, but also, in the classroom, a day to tip-toe around. All school year I had a few expressions I use to repeat over and over and over again, but I did so because I didn't want to hurt any little person's feelings. "Take this home and have someone over 18 sign it."
"Read tonight to Mom, Uncle Sue, Aunt George or your dog for 20 minutes."
"Anyone can be your special someone on Mother's Day, your Mom, your Grandma, your Aunt, the nice lady next door, even Mrs. Smith."
I had such long sentences and delivered them with such silliness because life is not always easy for many of our students, sometimes school is their only place for joy.
So that being said, many of these resources can be used for an Aunt, a Grandma, a Favorite Neighbor, so that Mother's Day can still be fun!
UPDATED MAY 3, 2021 ~ 26 new pages of photos, templates, writing paper, and detailed teacher directions for TWO NEW Mother's Day Crafts and EIGHT NEW Mother's Day Cards in addition to the original 39 coloring pages!

With this great picture, students draw their face and their mother's face. They can then color the entire picture, cut about the outside wavy line and glue it to the front of a construction paper card. Win-win, what a wonderful keepsake!
