Looks like I seem to revisit these resources every couple of years. I have included 4 wakelets at the end of this post which contain a wealth of resources to check out for this month... or anytime.
I wrote about this in March of 2019, as well as 2017 and included long lists of resources. You can check out the 2017 post out here, and the 2019 post here. You can look back at the post on Women and Girls in Science here. This year we are celebrating the first female Vice President in the United States. It still both amazes and depresses me to have made both so much progress in my lifetime, and such slow incremental progress.
Always a great place to start, you can find an incredible assortment of lessons, videos, images and information at

Women's History Month
A friend posted a link to an article about women becoming invisible as they age, which really got me thinking more about this topic. You can check out theAtlantic article here. So, as educators, how can we make sure that all voices are heard? How can we encourage girls and young women in our classes? How can we highlight the contributions of women across history?
How many can you name?

Blackout PoetryI subscribe to Austin Kleon's weekly newsletter and enjoy reading about his latest adventures, poetry and even his random ramblings.

Colleen Graves has some great videos and labz to demonstrate how to use makeymakey and scratch to make interactive blackout poetry. So, what is this "blackout poetry" that you speak of? Here's Kleon's video:
Here's Colleen's example of an interactive way to do this.
