It's Women's History Month!
Why not do some lessons on Frida Kahlo?
Frida was a Mexican painter known for her surreal paintings and self-portraits. One book that I found to be an amazing teaching support is Viva Frida by Yuyi Morales. This book is a 2015 Caldecott Honor book and Yuyi Morales won a 2015 Pura Belpre (Illustrator) award.
Viva Frida
by Yuyi Morales
Viva Frida is a beautiful picture book by Yuyi Morales. Very bright, simple text to describe her life.

At the end, it shows her painting. I like that the book isn't ALL about the painting. It shows different aspects of her personality.
The art is amazing. Appropriate for k-5th grades. Enjoy! If you'd like to do some lessons, I created a Frida Kahlo Emergency Sub Plan or mini-unit on TPT for $3. This sub pack is for those days when you can’t help being absent or you can use it as a mini-unit. It has 16 pages. Enjoy!
