Today is International Women’s Day. On a fresh page write in the center, Women I Admire. Around this write down the names of ten women you admire (make at least half the list of women you actually know). Join the women’s names to the center words (put a circle around it if you like) with a line. For each woman attach three words or phrases to represent what you admire about them. Feel free to use colors or decorate the page with stickers or pictures; or not.
