โ€œMrs. Spitzerโ€™s Gardenโ€ is another great rea โ€œMrs. Spitzerโ€™s Gardenโ€ is another great read aloud for the end of the year! ๐ŸŒป

Just as you would lovingly tend to a garden, Mrs. Spitzer carefully nurtures her garden of students, helping them grow over the course of a school year.

โ€œSome of the plants grow quickly, pushing upward, eager, impatient. Some grow more slowly, unfolding themselves bit by bit. Some plants sprout thin and tall. Some are bushy and wide spreading. Some are bold, showy. Some are silvery and quiet, the color of the earth.โ€

And when the year is over, her job is done, โ€œbut the plants will keep growing!โ€

Here are my best tips for making the Motherโ€™s Da Here are my best tips for making the Motherโ€™s Day tile coasters turn out perfectly! But first, this one here was made by my little guy. Talk about a total full circle moment!

Tip #1: I start by drawing two circles on the template, One for their parent, guardian, or loved one and another for the child. This helps ensure that each head is proportionately sized and their picture fills the entire space on the template.

Tip #2: I work with only one to two students at a time, so that I can guide them as they are drawing and coloring. While they are working, I will ask questions; such as: Did you remember to draw the feet? What is your momโ€™s favorite color? What color hair does she have?

Tip #3: I apply a thin layer of mod podge on the tile. Then, I center the top two corners of the template and smooth out the bubbles. Once the mod podge has dried for a minute or two, I apply another thin layer across the top.

Tip #4: This next step is totally optional, but to help protect the tile from water or coffee stains, I use a matte spray sealer. I also place adhesive felt pads on the bottom of the tile.

Thatโ€™s it! If you have any questions, please let me know!

Drop a โค๏ธ or the word MOM for the direct link to the templates!
