Hi! I'm Becca from The Teacher's Passport and I'm a 2nd grade teacher and yoga teacher in Asheville, North Carolina.  I am very passionate about spreading the message that yoga is for everybody. Today I'm excited to share one of my favorite topics---yoga in the classroom.

Teach Your Students about Education Inequality with this Free Classroom Curriculum

Hi teacher friends,

March is one of my favorite months because it's Women's History Month and includes International Women's Day on March 8 to celebrate girls and women. In addition to focusing on incredible women who have moved mountains across the world, it's important to teach children about the gender inequality that still exists. One way I do this with my 2nd graders is by teaching them statistics about girls' education inequality.
