Each year, we celebrate the achievements of women during Women's History Month in March to honor their contributions to society and examine the remarkable impacts they have had throughout history.
Whether you want to explore women in history such as Claudette Colvin, the first woman to refuse to give up her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus, or Eleanor Roosevelt, former first lady and activist, or more modern examples such as Oprah Winfrey or Jane Goodall, decorating your classroom to showcase those who left a footprint on the world can be a good starting point. For inspiration, check out the Women's History Month bulletin board ideas below, created by teachers nationwide and gathered on social media.
