To celebrate Women's History Month last year I came up with a project that gave my first graders a small introduction to important women. The librarian at my school was very helpful and together we made it a across curricular unit. Each class I gave the kids a brief intro on a different woman. They filled out a Famous Women form I created and drew a picture of that woman. I also had them do a small project or craft to go with each woman.
They learned about 8 different women and then had to pick one to write a short report on. Our librarian helped them research their chosen woman a little more and pick the facts they found most important. Once they had written their rough drafts and gone through the editing process they got the all clear to type it up on Pixie. They then had to draw a picture to go with their writing. We used Anmoto to turn all their slides into a video and presented it to the kindergarten. Our art teacher helped them come up with a design to make a bottle person to match the woman they picked.
You can see the video below.
As I teach each woman this year I will post my plans and the activity we do, just in case anyone is interested.
