Two pages. Page 1 is a portrait poster titled Business Leader, with her dates, 1867 to 1919, and a short summary. Page 2 has 8 numbered fact cards. They say she was born Sarah Breedlove in Louisiana, was the first in her family born after slavery ended, washed clothes for years, started her company around 1906, trained thousands of women to sell her products and built a factory in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Can I use the Madam C.J. Walker Poster and Fact Cards at home and in the classroom?

Yes. We made it for 1st Grade to 3rd Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

These are written for 1st Grade to 3rd Grade students, roughly ages 6-9. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these Women's History Month resources for homeschool?

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 1st Grade to 3rd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
