Mother's Day
Our special day is called, Moms & Muffins. When the moms arrive the students will meet them at the door and give them their special card. (See below - so adorable) The students will sing and dance the Tooty Ta, by Dr. Jean with their moms. We will sing a shorter version of I Wish I Had A Little Red Box, by Dr. Jean (we use mom, grandma, dad, and mom again). We say our tea pot poem and give our moms the card with a tea bag. The last thing we do is read the book, Love You Forever. I will read the story to the moms and the students will help me sing the verse - I love you forever, I like you for always, as long as I am living, my mommy you will be. We make sure to give the moms tissues before we read the story!

ReplyDeleteI am a new teacher and your post have provided me with a ton of ideas for my first mother's day with my students! Thank you so much for sharing! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the idea! What do you do for the kids who's mom can't come?
ReplyDeleteMiss Ewshbaugh - you are welcome. I am planning on putting my teapot master on my shutterfly account on Monday.
ReplyDeleteJanet - we send a note home asking the moms to find someone special to fill in their space so that everyone has someone there. For example: aunt, grandma, neighbor, etc. Once in a while we will have to have a foster grandparent who is working in the school spend the afternoon with a child.
