Women's History
By Lori

I focus on women's history across the grade levels at my school. We read books and do a huge bullentin board timeline and add the women to it. For first graders you might try

Wilma Rudolph -- I have a great lesson plan
on her, might be a bit much for first, but I bet you could adapt it. -- Wilma Unlimited is a great book.
Annie Oakley
Maria Mitchell -- good picture book Maria's Comet by Deborah Hopkinson
Harriet Tubman -- lots of picture book bios
Emily Dickenson -- picture book Emily by Michael Bedard ?sp
Zora Neale Hurston -- there is a picture book story by William Miller
Also, if you

go to the archive link above and type in Women's History you will find some posts from previous years. A few are mine. I don't have time to go into great detail now, and I have to help my child with her science fair project tonight, but maybe I can get together a better list this weekend of some of the things I do.
