We’ve been fielding all sorts of inquiries about this project and are super pleased to announce the launch of our newest grade 3-8 resource, Wisconsin Biographies!
Wisconsin Biographies is a collection of free educational, online media resources to enrich your social studies and literacy curriculum, using the stories of famous people in Wisconsin history. Educational materials include:
- short animated videos,
- leveled printable books and ebooks (available free on the iBookstore),
- cross-curricular online activities for students,
- a gallery of historic images,
- teaching tips (short, flexible lesson plans) tied to fourth grade academic standards.
Students can define, analyze, compare and contrast historical figures, time periods, eras and themes, including westward expansion, slavery, women’s suffrage, innovation, and civil rights.
We send out an especially warm thanks to all of the Wisconsin educators who lent their time, expertise and support to advise on and test this project.
Please share this cost free resource with other educational professionals and celebrate with us by entering to win a complete set of classroom trading cards and printed stories that students will instantly love on any of our social media platforms: newsletter, Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter.

I am happy to say I worked with Becky when she was a 2nd grade teacher and she was awesome. She loves the outdoors and getting kids involved in learning with hands on, exciting curriculum.
