March is Women's History Month!
There just aren't enough role models in our lives for girls. But they need encouragement and inspiration just as much as the boys do!
March is a great time to explore ways to inspire your girls, since it's Women's History Month! Here are some books to share with your girls (and boys, of course!)
- A is for Awesome: 23 Iconic Women Who Changed the World
- Herstory: 50 Women and Girls Who Shook Up the World
- She Persisted: 13 American Women Who Changed the World
- Shaking Things Up: 14 Young Women Who Changed the World
- Bold and Brave: Ten Heroes Who Wom Women the Right to Vote
- The Book of Gutsy Women: Favorite Stories of Courage and Resilience
The right words at the right time can really inspire many to improve their lives and become successful. Here are some of my favorite quotes from women, appropriate for children.
These are great words for girls (and boys) to think about, aren't they?

Kids need to learn about the power of their own voice, don't they?
I love to have the kiddos talk (or write) about what they think some of these quotes mean. They make great Morning Meeting prompt!
These discussions are a great way to start the day. Perfect for morning meetings!
Seriously, don't you want your students to think about this?
I have a set of 50 of these quotes, available here:
How you inspire your students to be the best they can be?
