Women’s History Month Worksheets

Wendy Piersall — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 14:00:22 +0000

Here’s a brand new set of Women’s History Month worksheets that I am very proud of! They include a short reading assignment about why we celebrate important women in history, a comprehension quiz on the reading material, and 5 excellent essay questions for kids to learn more about the influential women that interest them the most. There’s also a fun women’s history word search with my favorite gal Rosie the Riveter.

The topics on the worksheets cover the role of the First Lady, several female ‘firsts’ (like the first woman to go in space, Sally Ride), and the role of the National Organization for Women (NOW). The essay question sheet invites kids to analyze why these women were important in history, and to discuss whether or not they agree with some favorite quotes by Amelia Earhart and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

These worksheets are appropriate for kids in grade 3, grade 4, grade 5 or grade 6.

Susan B. Anthony is really one of my favorite women in history. She was so ahead of her time, and she had a family that encouraged her to fight for women’s rights when it was against much of what the world believed in. When one of her teachers refused to teach her long division because she was a girl, he pulled her out of school and taught her himself!

Although she died 14 years before women received the right to vote, she was the first woman to appear on circulating coins in the United States. She was also featured on U.S. stamps in 1936 and 1954.

Women’s History Month Poems for Kids

March is Women’s History Month! And I absolutely love teaching children about strong, fascinating women who were decades ahead of their time (sometimes centuries!). Though women still have a long way to go, the rights we do have were made possible by amazing trailblazers who worked so hard for equality. Here are two printable kids poems celebrating this important month.
