Women's History Month

Eleanor Roosevelt, Oprah Winfrey, Amelia Earhart, Sojourner Truth, Greta Thunberg, Mala Yousafzai, and most recently Kamala Harris are just a few among many women celebrated for their dedication to making a change in society for the betterment of everyone. To learn of Kamala Harris’ journey of making many significant contributions throughout her life in public service and now become the first woman Vice President of the United States, it is merely impossible to not be inspired. 

Teaching of the accomplishments of women despite their many adversities opens the eyes of young generations of girls to possibilities, ideas, and new expectations. We can and should use our histories to inspire children to make changes to fight for a better world.

 

March Reads!

“Top O’ The Morning to Ya”!It’s definitely a month to celebrate!  In March, we get to learn about Irish traditions with St. Patrick’s Day and celebrate the history of amazing women who have changed the world for the better with Women’s History month.

Encourage Kindness

If you work in education you have probably heard something similar to: What is it with kids these days - they don’t know how to show respect. Somewhere along the path many of our school aged generation has lost touch with the notion of “respect your elders” let alone respect the person sitting next to you simply because they are a person.

 Our society needs to place importance on bringing respect and kindness back into the lives of our children. It starts at home, modeling kindness and respect in your relationships and expecting the same in return and of children should be a parent’s ambition. 

The same can happen within our schools, as teachers we must model respect for others at all levels, show kindness in our acts, and encourage this amongst our students. We should expect and demand the same of our society, and when it is out of our control to shield our children from the realities of the world - we must teach them right from wrong, talk about what different decisions could be made, and the impact the varied decisions could have on one another. 

Respect and kindness is not lost among our children, it only needs to be shown and encouraged more often than not to our children. 

Sweet Books to Read

Valentine’s Day always reminds us to show appreciation and love to those most important to us. Reading to our children not only helps them learn but also helps foster connection, shows caring, and grows love. February books provide a variety of choices from the love of Valentine’s Day, the importance of celebrating past presidents and learning about Black History, to the fun of groundhog day, friendship day, and the deliciousness of national pizza day! These books appropriate for K-2nd readers will be loved by all ages.
