Last Minute Mother's Day Activities

We just finished state testing this week, so I was focusing more on end of the year IEPs, ESY, transportation forms for next, blah, blah blah.  You get it, right?  I had a mini panic attack during lunch today when I realized I forgot about Mother's Day this Sunday.  I know that the students in my room would struggle with ideas, resources, and execution of any type of project if they even realized it was Mother's Day this weekend.  I quickly set out to find an activity that focused on character description, describing, writing short sentences given a prompt, and poetry.
Here's what I found:
