Mother's Day Craft & Writing Poetry for Middle School

Happy Mother's Day! The ADORABLE handmade gifts do not have to stop with grades K-2! Have your older student create a memorable gift for mom.

Students get to craft flowers into a bouquet and create a lovely poem about mom (or grandma/auntie).

Teach students about the different types of poems including:

• limerick (silly, funny, and endearing)
• ballad (meant to be sung)
• ode (written to pay tribute)
• haiku (syllable based poem)

OR students can simply choose to create a rhyming poem about mom, just as long as it comes from the heart!

With this purchase you will have:

• rules and examples of the poetry listed above
• TWO types of flowers for students to choose from
• writing prompts for students to bring out the best in mom
• a version to include grandma & auntie (just in case)
• a version to print in black and white to have students color
• a version to be printed on colored paper and just have students write

Students get to be creative, reflect on all of the great things about mom (or their special person), show appreciation, and practice writing poems!
