The woman's day

  Our kids are used to develop different activities throughout the school year, like Carnival or The worker woman day. We might employ this days to help them know more about the human being. The more they know, the better they could understand the importance it has. Unless we’re able to move them to the struggle that has meant achieving these achievements, we’ll not be able to get kids to respect and maintain them over time.   That’s our motivation to show them the whole process women had fought along the centuries to achieve this goal.   https://origins.osu.edu/connecting-history/international-womens-day Yolanda Frías
