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!)

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:
