Celebrate Mother's Day with Motherhood Math, great ideas for Mother's Day gifts, and more! Following are brief descriptions of the five new lesson plans we've created to celebrate mothers on their special day: 1. Celebrate With Silhouettes Explore with students the history of silhouettes. Then create a keepsake silhouette of each student. Frame it, or use it to make a special Mother's Day card. (Grades Pre-K-8) 2. Motherhood Math: Mothers in the Workforce Provide students with a table showing how the number of working mothers increased between 1955 and 2000. Have them use the table to complete the work sheet. Work sheet provided. 3. The Best Gift, for Shoe-er! Help students turn an old shoe into a memorable planter for a terrific gift for Mother's Day or any other occasion. (Grades Pre-K-5) 4. As Good as Gold Students create a Mother's Day Coupon Book full of coupons that can be exchanged for special services rendered by students! Work sheet included. (Grades K-12) 5. Make a "Memories of Mom" Memento A book of collected "memories of mom" makes a very special Mother's Day gift. Included: Ten writing prompts for students. (Grades 3-8) MORE FOR MOTHER'S DAY!
