Mother's Day Nonfiction Texts With STEM Challenge and Poetry

By Science and STEAM Team

This versatile resource is good for brightening someone's day on many occasions; Mother's Day and it is perfect for an end of the year "thank you!" Is there a special in your school you want to thank? Personally, I have the students brainstorm for all of the people that work for the school. Everyone takes one person and we brighten their day! We thank bus drivers, cafeteria workers, custodians, support staff, the principal, etc.

Your students will have lots of fun with this STEM challenge. First, they will read about six types of flowers. They will learn the characteristics of each flower, along with the meaning and what they symbolize. This is the perfect opportunity to talk about the job of the flower as well as various character traits. After reading, students will choose one flower to make given a set of guidelines. One of these guidelines is that the stem of the flower must be able to hold a letter or poem. Writing paper, directions for writing a diamante poem, and paper for the final copy of student's poetry are included.
