What Is A Mother?
Mr. Buckman's Second Grade Class
Mother's Day was a few days away and our class started to talk about the important things that mother do for their children.  They talked about the different things that their own mothers did.  Some things that children enjoyed (like taking them out for ice cream), and some they did like too much (such as making them do their homework even when it was late).  The children then used the second grade writing process to explain what makes a mother.  On Friday, the class used the word processor to publish their thoughts about mothers so that they could give them to their own moms as a Mother's Day gift.  That afternoon, the children cut and glued paper, followed directions and compared examples to produced a red rose for their mothers to go with their writing.  The children's thoughts about "What Is A Mother?" and a picture of the students with their completed paper roses are found below.  Happy Mother's Day to all.   

A mother is someone who is helpful when you need it. They are sometimes hilarious. A mother is someone who makes your favorite meals, like hotdogs and potatoes. A mother is someone who buys you clothes that you like. A mother is someone who buys toys for you. A mother is someone who makes you do the right things to do. A mother is someone who makes sure you brush you're teeth before bed. A mother is someone who keeps you healthy. A mother is someone who makes sure you eat your fruits and vegetables. A mother is someone who loves you even when you're mad at her.

My mom is excellent because she makes dinner at the right time and is sporty because she rides bikes with me. She reads long stories when I can't go to sleep. A mother is a person who blows up like a volcano when you do something wrong. A mother is someone who plays games with you when it's raining out side. She buys you new healthy food, and helps you when you don't understand things.

My mother is a nice generous person. She always gets me healty foods when I am sick. My mother also gives me band-aids when I get a bruse. But when I do something bad like hit someone on the play ground and they tell on me she does not let me play Nintendo for a week. But even though she makes me do my homework when I do not want to do it, she still is my favorite mother.

A mother is nice when their happy. Their not nice when their mad.They help you with things if you need it. They are really joyful when their having fun. If it weren't for them, you wouldn't be alive. They go to work too keep the house. I don't like it when they send you to your room when their angry! A mother cares for you. They by you stuff too keep you alive. They take you places where you need to go. They check your assignments for mistakes. Mothers pack your lunch for school. Mothers are fun too play with when they have fun. A mother usually makes your favorite food. They are mostly excellent.

A mother is someone who tacks lots of care for you. A mother lets you play the computer when I want to. Some times a mother yells and screams. A mother lets you stay up a little after your bed time. A mother lets you have candy some times. A mother helps you with your homework. A mother lets you go to friends houses. A mother buys healthy foods to eat. A mother has a birthday when its your birthday. A mother clens the house. A mother plays with you. There is nobody more fantastic.

A good mother helps me do my home work. My mother gives me big hugs and feeds me every day. She gives me fun things that I like and gives me good presents when she comes from a trip. But most importantly I love her and she loves me.

A mother is someone that helps you with all most everything. A mom is someone who works hard at her work and helps you out with stuff. She is sometimes nice and sometimes mean to you for a while. Your mom might be a sporty kind of mother like my mom she likes to play volleyball, tennis and soccer. My mom likes to be with me and my two sisters a lot. When I am stuck on my homework my mom helps me with it. Me and my sisters love our mom a lot.

A Mother is helpful. She helps you to do chores and correct your homework. A Mother is someone who is nice because she goes to the store to get healthy food. A Mother is someone who plays with you on rainy days and your friends have to stay home. A Mother is someone who yells to you clean your room. A Mother is someone who is your best friend.

A mother is someone who will care for you. She can help you by doing chores like cleaning your room. A mother can explode if you don't listen. But she is there for you. She buys you toys when you are sick. Like getting you Legos or Beanie Babies or Pokemon cards. A mother is someone who tickles you back. She makes you healthy meals like mash potatoes. A mother is someone who and loves you will never forget you. A mother is someone who makes jokes and funny ones too. And that is what a mother is all about. But she is the best mother anyone could have.

A mother is a person who knows almost everything you do if you fall off your bike she will have has a bandaid waiting for you in the kitchen. She makes you eat healthy food even if it tastes totally disgusting like spinach. Your mother will make most of your choices like where you go to school and what state you live in. But some choices your mother makes you will not like. Like what kind of food you eat. She will also do things like punish you, actually that's for a reason. It's to show you that your not getting it your way this time so you don't become spoiled. Two of the ways that a mother is so wonderful is they buy you things that you do and don't need. Another reason they help you with your homework. Even if they had just gotten over a volcano eruption they still insist on helping you. Also a mother will always find time to do fun activities with you. Even if they work full time and don't get home until you're asleep. As I said before a mother is wonderful in many different ways.

A mother is caring, sharing, and daring. A mother is sweet and gives you lots of things. A mother is to appreciate and is there to help you. At times she blows up like a volcano but soon she spits the madness out. Mothers spend all their money on you until their out of money. Mothers are joyful no matter what you say. A mother bakes you cookies when you are feeling sick. A mother doesn't tell personal things to people outside of the family. A mother gives things to you until she is out of things to give like rings. But most of all she is compassionate in every single way.

A mother is thoughtful when she lets me do something special like sit in the front seat. She helps you do things that you have never done before like doing the laundry when there is nothing else to do. She is nice to help me with my news report. It is fun to go to museums with her because she explains the exhibits to me. I totally crack up at the way she reads the words in a funny book like Froggy Goes Swimming. I like when she tucks me into bed at night. I think it is nice that she rushes to get me to places on time like my soccer game. My mom is enjoyable on trips because she reads me books and has good ideas to make time fly. She tells me when it is hot outside so I know what to wear for school and parties. My mom is nice because she tells me what to do when I'm scared an have no clue. Nobody's better than my mom because she is extraordinary.

My mom is wonderful when she smiles. My mom is beautiful when she is happy. I love my mom because she is caring when I fall down. I love my mom when she is enjoyable with me. I love my mom when she can play a game of checkers with me. When my mom makes brownies she is excellent at them. My mom helps me with my homework when I'm stuck. She helps my brother and my sister also. But sometimes she gets made
at me but we get over it. A mom is someone who takes you to school. A mom is a person who lets you play with your friend. But my mom is extraordinary all the time.

A mother is someone you can trust. A mother is someone who gave birth to you. A mother is busy taking care of you and doing her job. A mother is helpful, thoughtful and fun. A mother teaches you what is right and wrong. A mother sometimes teaches you new things. A mother loves you even when she packs a lunch for you and you don't eat it. A mother drives you to school in the morning even when she's late for work. A mother encourages you when you have a hard time doing something. A mother plays games with you up north after dinner.

My mom is nice because she is joyful and she likes sports a lot. She is very nice when she is in a good mood but sometimes when she is in a bad mood she is not that great sometimes not that great but she is great a lot of times. She bakes dinner a lot. She ask our family what we would like to have for dinner. She likes watching the Red Wings a lot of times with my Dad and my brother and my two annoying sisters that go wacko. My Mom is a special person in my whole life. But I know that she is a very special Mom to have for my family.
