Mother’s Day Resources

A bit of a more difficult hunt finding out things about Mother’s Day. I lucked out with my lapbook. I had to join the Live and Learn Press Yahoo group and a member there was able to share the once easily attained freebie spoken about HERE.

For Trinity we did the “Are You My Mother?” lapbook. Something very simple and fun for a first lapbook. I found it HERE. I got an additional page from Obseussed HERE. A second matching baby and mommy picture.

Of course there were some choice Wiki pages we used for answering questions for the boys:

  • Mother’s Day HERE
  • Ann Jarvis (the mother the date was finally cemented for) HERE
  • Anna Jarvis (the daughter) HERE
  • Julia Ward Howe (the first person to really make the push for this day) HERE
  • Mothering Sunday (a prior significant day in Britain) HERE
(These are on the lapbook file, but I figured worth posting here.)

And Crafts:

  • Fingerprint flower card (Zander’s favourite) HERE
  • Photo Tulips HERE

And a special page that was also suggested by a member of the yahoo group…

  • DayForMothers.com HERE

Worksheets:

  • Colouring page and rhyme for Miss Trinity HERE
  • Acrostic Poem HERE
  • All About My Mom booklet HERE
  • Trinity’s colouring page of choice HERE
  • Mother’s Day Puzzles (we used the mazes) HERE

Books:

  • Mother’s Day by Ann Heinrichs HERE
  • T.Rex and the Mother’s Day Hug by Lois G. Grambling HERE
  • Mother’s Day by Anne Rockwell (we also made the craft at the end of the story) HERE
  • The Mother’s Day Mice by Eve Bunting HERE
  • No Time for Mother’s Day by Laurie Halse Anderson HERE
  • My Mother’s Voice by Joanne Ryder HERE

And a great short video on the history of Mother’s Day…

Oh and our DVD that included a Dora episode about Mother’s Day… Food With Friends HERE.101_1892
