Celebrating Women’s History Month: A Must-Teach Lesson for Your Classroom
March is Women’s History Month, and if you’re like me, you want to make sure your students are learning about the incredible women who shaped history—but without spending hours pulling together materials. That’s exactly why I created a FREE Women’s History Month lesson plan that you can grab right now.
For too long, history has centered on men’s achievements while women’s contributions were sidelined or overlooked. Teaching women’s history isn’t just about adding a few names here and there—it’s about ensuring our students get the full story of how history was made.
If you want to bring Women’s History Month into your classroom without spending hours planning, I’ve got you covered! I put together a ready-to-go lesson featuring three powerhouse women:
🔹 Sojourner Truth – Abolitionist & women’s rights advocate
🔹 Ida B. Wells – Investigative journalist & anti-lynching activist
🔹 Alice Paul – Women’s suffrage leader & ERA advocate
📩 Sign up here to get the free lesson!
I’d love to hear how you plan to celebrate Women’s History Month in your classroom! 🚀
Beyond Emancipation: Why Reconstruction Matters for Black History Month
Reconstruction is one of the most overlooked yet essential chapters in Black history. While the Civil War ended slavery, the fight for freedom and equality continued long after. This era saw incredible strides—new rights, political representation, and the founding of Black schools and institutions. But these gains were met with resistance, shaping the systemic challenges that followed. Understanding Reconstruction deepens students’ awareness of history’s lasting impact and the ongoing struggle for civil rights. This Black History Month, let’s look beyond emancipation and explore why Reconstruction still matters today.
