As I write this, I am in beautiful Logan, Utah. ❤️

A picture of the "Center Street" sign in downtown Logan, Utah. The metal sign is structured above the street, crossing from one side to the other. Snowy mountains are in the far background, and the right side of the street is aligned with brick buildings.
Photo taken inside Utah State's library, 3rd floor, featuring the surrounding university buildings and the snowy mountains in the background.
A historic picture of Brigham Young Jr's house, nestled between new buildings, in downtown Logan, Utah. There is a tree in front of the house. The picture was taken in winter, but there is no snow.

Even though we just had a few days in the 50s, it snowed ❄️last night, reminding us it is still winter. The cycle of wintery weather reminds of me of April Pulley Sayre’s book, “Best in Snow”.

March can be such an unpredictable month, especially in terms of weather ⛈️(speaking as a person who was raised in the Northwest). It is around this time I anxiously await spring. February in Southwest Idaho can be so cold, dark, and snowy (although this year it has been brighter and calmer).

As I await spring, I take enjoyment in all the celebrations that are in March. 👏🏽

I find these celebration of days a fun resource for the classroom, the home, and really any work environment.

Sometimes they act as a reminder. Sometimes they act as a way to honor. Sometimes they act as an invitation to create. Sometimes they act as an invitation to get together. Sometimes they act as a reminder to pause and reflect. Sometimes they are all the above.

March 2022 Calendar of Days

March 2022 Calendar of DaysDownload

I created the above downloadable Calendar of Days for March 2022, as the first of many, I hope, and I plan to highlight books to read and share along the way. 📚

For the approaching week, we have:

Book cover of "This is how we do it: One day in the lives of seven kids from around the world" by Matt Lamothe. It is light blue cover with a variety of small pictures on it: school bus, person on horseback, two children at school desks, homes in a village, a person on a bicycle carrying supplies, three people on a motorbike, kids running, and children playing jump rope.
Picture of the picture book, "Mama is a Miner" by George Ella Lyon and illustrated by Peter Catalanotto. The title is written in aqua and the author and illustrator's names are written in red. The background picture is of a mom and her daughter in the living room, with their foreheads touching.
Picture of the book cover for "Johnny Appleseed: A Tall Tale" retold and illustrated by Steven Kellogg. Above the red title, it has a boy in a hammock with an apple in one hand. A raccoon is in the hammock with him. Below the hammock and title is a nature scene with bears and a bird.
Book cover for "If you plant a seed" by Kadir Nelson. Title is at the top of the book and written in green. The main image is of a light brown rabbit and a brown mouse watching a seed sprout.
Book cover of "Earmuff for Everyone" by Meghan McCarthy. Title is large and written in white over a light blue background. Under the title are two rows of four people wearing different color earmuffs looking up at the title.
Book cover of "Say Something!" by Peter H. Reynolds. The title is in a large white speech bubble, written in hot pink, on a purple background. Under the title are twelve people of diverse backgrounds. One is holding a piece of paper, two a sign, and two an instrument.
Book cover of "Cold Cereal" by Adam Rex. The title is written in red block lettering, like a sign above an industrial building. It is a white factory-like building, with a pink dragon above its door. The double doors are black with a bright light coming out of them. A boy is about to enter the door.
Book cover of "Farming" by Gail Gibbons. The cover is framed like a picture. A dark blue frame, with the picture showing a farm scene: tractor driving across a dirt field.
Book cover for "Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls" by compiled by Elena Favilli and Francesca Cavallo. It is a dark blue cover with a small moon and constellation at the top. The majority of the book is the title, written in various block lettering, using the colors of white, light blue, red, and yellow.
Book cover of "I am Peace: A book of Mindfulness" by Susan Verde and illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds. It has a white background, with a child on it, arms stretched out like a tree. A dove sitting on each hand.

As you prepare, be sure to checkout my post from a few years ago about International Women’s Day, where I give a shoutout to additional women featured in picture books, as well as my amazing mom! ❤️

Happy Reading! 📖

Finding the Science in Stories
This site was designed to help educators find fictional stories to incorporate into their science lessons. The use of fictional stories is an effective pathway to your student's science background knowledge, interest and understanding. This site was also developed in response to a Literature Review that asked: How are females of color portrayed in science-based fictional picture books? A summary of that literature review can be found in the "About" tab.
