Let's Read and Celebrate Influential Women!

Happy Morning Beautiful Families!

I hope your week has been full of joy and smiles! Our country experienced a powerful moment in history yesterday with the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Madame Vice President Kamala Harris. What a special day for our country as Kamala Harris became the first woman Vice President. Though many of your littles may be too young to fully understand the importance of this big day, I still think it's paramount to share your excitement and not only to explain the events that took place this week but use this as an opportunity to talk about other influential women who have also made history. One of the best ways to teach your littles about history is through books full of colorful pictures and powerful words. So grab your little learners and spend the rest of this monumental week reading about the great women of the past and present.
