My mom and I in sunny Florida this Spring!

When I was in about 5th grade my mom decided to go back to school to get a college degree.  There she was, a mother of 5 (4 boys and me!), heading back to the college scene.  My mom studied hard, went to school, worked part-time and still took care of us kids in the evenings!

Looking back, I remember it as such a noble and heroic decision that my mom made.  She really wanted to have a full-time career to be able to help support all 5 of us kids financially in our education endeavors.  What’s more, is that she completed a four-year program in three years, going to school all summer every summer…  Just WOW!  Any guesses as to what she went back to school to become?  Yes, a teacher!

My mom is my HERO!  I know that her courage and amazing teaching abilities greatly influenced me to choose Elementary Education as a degree.  I am so proud of my mother, and I know she’s not the only mother out there who has shown courage, strength, passion, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness or self-control.

Moms everywhere need to know what amazing heroes they are to their children. My “Mom, You’re my Hero!” Mother’s Day Craftivity stemmed from my own mother’s heroism and I wanted to share it with you to pass on to your student’s moms as well.

In this Mother’s Day Craftivity, your students will engage in comparing “real-life heroes” with “super heroes”, writing what a hero mom looks like and does, and make their own hero mom to give as a gift to their mother!  I’ve also included writing pages for the spelling alternative “mum” and grandma, with generic pages as well to meet your students individual family needs.

Inside you’ll find:

– “Let’s Compare” Real-Life Heroes vs Super Heroes Venn Diagram

– “My Hero Mom” Can Has Is Brainstorm

– “My Hero Mom” Bubble Web

– “Mom, You’re My Hero” Craft Templates & Writing Prompts (includes Mom, Mum, Grandma and Generic)

(All writing prompts include Primary & Secondary lines)

I hope your students enjoy this fun-filled and encouraging Mother’s Day Craftivity!  You can purchase it by clicking here: Michaela Peterson’s TpT Store or by clicking on any of the craftivity photos above!

Happy Mother’s Day everyone!!!! (I love you Mom!)
