Virginia Apgar Poster and Fact Cards

Hang the poster for Women's History Month or a health lesson. Partners read the fact cards together, then cut them apart on the solid lines to sort or retell.

Two pages. Page 1 is a portrait poster titled Doctor and Inventor of the Apgar Score, with her dates, 1909 to 1974. Page 2 has 8 numbered fact cards. They cover her birth in New Jersey, becoming a doctor in 1933, her 1952 check for newborns, the 5 things the score looks at, the 0 to 10 scale and a United States stamp in her honor in 1994.

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.

11 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 65 Women's History Month resources in all, from Kindergarten to 5th Grade, gathered on our Women's History Month activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

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.

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.
