2/14/2014 Happy Valentine's Day, and Looking Ahead to Women's History


Happy Valentine's Day!  I hope that you enjoyed a fun day of activities with your class.  February 14 is also the day that the League of Women Voters was founded in Chicago, in 1920.

We still have half of February left to continue to celebrate Black History Month, but soon March, and Women's History Month will be upon us!  

My collection of leveled readers, "Famous Women in History" is an excellent way to build literacy skills while learning more about Women’s History.  This collection of leveled readers for second through fourth grade features stories about eight women and their contributions to history:

Amelia Earhart -- Airplane Pilot (level L)
Abigail Adams -- First Lady & Crusader for People’s Rights (level L)
Clara Barton -- Founder of the American Red Cross (level N)
Maria Mitchell -- Astronomer (level N)
Helen Keller -- Inspirational Speaker (level O)
Ellen Ochoa -- Astronaut (level P)
Laura Ingalls Wilder -- Pioneer and Author (level P)
Millie Hughes-Fulford -- Scientist in Space (level R)



Enjoy the President’s Day long weekend!
