Welcome to Connecting to the Classroom!

This site is a one-stop resource to connect teachers with relevant and useful educational materials on the Wisconsin Historical Society's web site. We have organized this portal by the topics that are specified in the Wisconsin Model Academic Standards for American and Wisconsin History.

The entries are sorted by type of material — image, document, publication, lesson plan, activity, field trip, or visit — to help you find what you need for your classroom. Once you see an entry that interests you, click for its full description, including suggestions for use and a link to the material.

This portal will continue to grow as new materials are added. Please browse, search, and explore our site for great ideas and resources for your classroom!
