Contact: christine.fleming@marquette.edu
The Water Across the Curriculum (WAC) resource guide provides activities designed to integrate the diverse arts of the Haggerty Museum of Art (HMA) collection into your classroom to support skills and concepts that you are already teaching, or that you may be planning to teach. Thematic chapters introduce students to HMA artworks through grade-appropriate activities that encourage them to think critically, to express themselves creatively, and to make connections between their own lives and WATER.

Freshwater Tool Kit
Grades: PreK-12
Contact: Kae Donlevy at WATERSMEET.MKE@gmail.com
The Freshwater Tool Kit is designed to connect Milwaukee-area educators with activities and organizations to help teach the foundational knowledge of water resources. We believe that learners with a strong understanding of water basics will become more engaged when they learn about in-depth water resource concepts and issues such as assessing, managing and protecting our water resources, and be more motivated to find solutions to protecting our waters. The Tool Kit contains lesson plans, classroom presentations and field trip opportunities. Contact Kae DonLevy or visit http://www.freshwatertoolkit.org/ for more information!
