About This Lesson
Mother’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate living mothers and their value in our own lives. It makes sense to affirm the importance of positive role models for students. Using a few simple steps, educators can present Mother’s Day activities in ways that are less likely to be troubling or upsetting for those children who do not have mothers who are alive or currently engaged in their lives, whether that be due to a death or another reason. In this way, Mother’s Day and how it is marked in school is meaningful to all students.
