MOTHERS DAY TEA

The monkey bread recipe is the one where you take cinnamon sugar and the kids cut the canned biscuits in fourths and shake them in the cinamon sugar.

Layer in a Pam sprayed bundt pan and then when you are ready to bake at 350 degrees, pour 1/2 to 1 cup of melted butter in pan and add 3/4 c of sugar.

When heated pour over the top. The kids love making it and it is easy.
Hope
this is not too confusing.

Here is a poem/ play that a fellow teacher used for her Mother's Day tea.

She had groups of 2-3 hold up a picture of each animal as they said the verse.

Then everyone said the last line together. It is really cute and just right for pre k and k.

We made it into a book this year for our moms.


Little ducklings all have a mom
to tell them wise-quacks.

Little piglets all have a mom
to take them piggy back.

Little bugs all have a mom
to give them buggy rides.

Little fawns all have a mom
who is a deer besides.

Little skunks must have a mom
who's sweet (at least to them).

And little flowers have a mom
to keep them on the stem.

Little bookworms have a mom
to teach them wrong from "write".

Little glow worms have a mom
to keep their tail lights bright.

Little bunnies have a mom
to teach them when to hop.

And little fishies have a mom
to show them how to belly flop.

Now, they think that their moms are great.
And probably it's true.
But then they haven't met the BEST
'Cuz mom they don't know you!


THE READING MOTHER

I had A MOTHER who read to me

Sagas of pirates who scoured the sea,

Cutlasses clenched in their yellow teeth,

"Blackbirds" stowed in the hold beneath

I had a Mother who read me lays

Of ancient and gallant and golden days;

Stories of Marmion and Ivanhoe,

Which every boy has a right to know.

I had a Mother who read me tales

Of Gelert the hound of the hills of Wales,

True to his trust till his tragic death,

Faithfulness blent with his final breath.

I had a Mother who read me the things

That wholesome life to the boy heart brings-

Stories that stir with an upward touch,

Oh, that each mother of boys were such!

You may have tangible wealth untold;

Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.

Richer than I you can never be-

I had a Mother who read to me.

As you know, I'm the person who is passionate about not having a
Mother's
Day Tea and I've explained my reasons 2 years in a row. I'd like to
share
my alternative that happened yesterday! We had a Nursery Rhyme

Extravaganza
and it was absolutely delightful! I combined ideas I got from a teacher's webpage (she gave me permission) and added a few of my own.

The children created their invitations inviting mom & dad or 2 special people.

(each child could invite 2 people) - I had moms & dads, and then a variety, aunts,favorite people, Godmother, daycare lady.

I had 8 places the child and guests could visit - 2 they had to visit:

decorate a cookie like a mouse or cat & have a cup of Mother Goose Grog (fruit punch) and get your picture taken with your guests & my stuffed Mother Goose (by me with my digital camera-I will develop these and put them in a free frame for the end of the year).
They also could make a twinkling star on a dowel and decorate it; make hickory dickory dock clock (from Dr.Jean); drop Baa Baa Black Sheep's wool into the jug; Jump over Jack's candlestick, measure and record the distance; knock Humpty off the wall; get their face painted.
In the background I had Dr. Jean's new nursery rhyme CD playing.
The guests were invited for an hour and it took exactly that much time.
Of course the children wanted to do all the centers. Usually I have done something where the children perform - a rodeo, a luau, a graduation,but this was the best I've done yet, because the children were actively engaged with their guests.
One grandpa said "Boy kindergarten is nothing like when I went to school!"
Another guest who was visiting from Alaska Said, "I can't believe how quiet this is (there were 66 people in my room and the hallway) and I stopped to listen and he was right - kids and adults were busy working and visiting.
This was a great day in kindergarten!

Here are some Mother's Day ideas I have saved from several sources!
(Lots are from WONDERFUL teachers on this mailring!)

You Are My Mommy (Mother)
(Sung to: You Are My Sunshine)
Guitar/Autoharp chords "C", "F", "G7"

You are my mommy, my only mommy,
The "one and only" Mom for me!
You are the Best Mom, I really love you.
I'm trying hard to be so good, you'll see!

You can substitute the word "Mother" for "Mommy" in the song.
Everyone Says
(for Mom on Mother's Day)

Everyone says that I look like my mother,
I have her eyes and her grin.
And they say I have her cheekbones,
And the shape of her nose and chin.

Everyone says I'm "the spitting image"
Of my Mom when she was nine.
And the color of my hair is like her hair was,
Once upon a time.

But I don't really see how
I can look like my Mom, you see.
I was made this way on purpose,
And I think I just look like me!

Mary - Songs 4 Teachers
You sew the buttons
on my clothes,
You give me a hanky
for my nose.

You make
good things
for me to eat,
You buy me candy
for a treat.

You mend my clothes
and wash my socks...
Dear Mom.
I love you
lots and lots!!

I found this somewhere on the web. I used it last year to make a little book that the kids gave to their mother on Mother's Day.

We used magazine pictures and real objects to illustrate the pages. We used the title:

"Thumb"body Loves You". The cover was illustrated with a flower made with thumbprints as petals.

M - O - T - H - E - R

"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell
"MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.

To Lead A Girl To Womanhood

Open her eyes
to the blessings around her;
Show her that beauty and
goodness surround her.
Help her to trust in the future,
not fear it.
Teach her that dreams are the
wings of the spirit.

Guide her with wisdom and
gentle persuasion
For she is God's pleasure
His flower of creation.

WONDERFUL MOTHER

God made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He molded her heart of pure gold;
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me.

For this one, we draw a portrait of mom, and mount this underneath

I've done this one with a decorated candle votive A Candle Votive

Mom, you light up my life everyday,
and I want to remind you in a special way,
just how much you mean to me.

When the candle is lit,
and there are bright colors to see
let it remind you of all of
the love you give to me.

Every mouse
and bumblebee,
Every bird
up in a tree,
Every caterpillar
and ladybug,
Loves to feel
his mother's hug.

Every bear
so fat and funny,
Loves his mother
more than honey.
Just as woodland
creatures do...
I love my mother
That is true!


I LOVE MY MOM!!!

Whistler's Mother
We did portraits of our mothers one year...after looking at and talking about 'Whistler's Mother'.

It was hilarious.

You can print red roses with nylon scrubber sponges - those that you use on non-stick pans, or the bath and body type scrubbers.

Dip in red tempera paint and print on paper.

When we did a Mother's Day placemat last year it featured this poem and the kid's paintings of a flower garden.

Then were very pretty so we laminated them.

A mother's love is special,
It cannot help but show...
Like flowers in a garden,
Her love makes children grow!

Mother's Day Kisses...
You will need 2 wrapped candy kisses, 1 plastic spoon, a 4x4 piece of netting, and ribbon.Place the two kisses back to back in the bowl of the spoon. Cover with the netting and tie with small ribbon. To the ribbon bow attach the following poem:

"Happy Mother's Day!
A spoonful of love
And a couple of wishes,
That you enjoy your
Mother's Day kisses!"

(To go with a flower)
A mother's love
and tender care
makes happiness
bloom everywhere.

A Marigold for Mom

This flower is for you, Mom
It's a marigold, you see.
It's growing more and more each day,
It's really just like me!

So, I'm giving you this flower,
With a note that's oh so true.
And when you watch this flower grow,
You'll remember, "I love you."

I make candle holders. I collect baby food jars (my mom works in the infant room at a daycare) and cover them with MODGE PODGE or something like it.

Then the children stick on small squares of spring fabric. Then they paint on another layer of modge podge.

I let them dry until they're shiny and then add a pretty ribbon. We add a tealight inside. THey come out soooo cute!
Good luck.

FLOWER POTS FOR MOTHER'S DAY

Materials:
1 small clay pot for each child
Sponges
Acrylic Paint
Potting Soil
Flower Seeds

This is really a great inexpensive activity to share with your children.

Give each child a clay pot and a sponge.

Have them to dip the sponges into the paint and apply to the pot. If they get to much paint on the pot simply take a dry sponge and wipe off the excess.

Allow their pots to dry.
Fill with potting soil and sow the seeds.
Water and place the plants in a sunny location.

They should sprout just in time for Mother's Day !
(Tip):
Use margarine containers and/or old lids for paint holders.
They can be rinsed and reused later or thrown away.

Some seeds that sprout easy and fast are:
Morning Glories
Sunflower Seeds
Shasta Daisies
Black eyed Susan
Marigolds

Grow some flowers or herbs
Have the children draw a portrait of their moms and put them in a nice mat Order the cups you color from oriental trading for $1.95 a piece and have them color coffee cups for mom

Take pictures of the kids and have the kids make frames for moms desk Make a book for each mom- ask the children a list of questions:

My mommy is the best because?
My mommy likes to?
What my mommy does at work?
I love my mommy because?

Whatever questions one per page then write what the child said and have them
draw a picture on each page.
Hope some of these give you an idea.
