My Project

I would like my students to read about women who did important things in history. I want them to know that in our world today all people can be successful if they have a goal and follow their dreams.

I want my students to be able to learn about women who made a difference in history.

I think it would be nice to surround the classroom with books about these women. During Black History Month, my classroom was surrounded by biographies of great African Americans, and my students loved reading these books, I want to do the same thing for Women's History Month. Please help me surround the classroom with these books.
