The following pages feature educational activities and
materials developed by the Dakota County Historical Society
and over 60 educators representing nine area school districts
and several private schools who graciously offered their
perspectives to make this initiative possible. These materials
were designed for use with children in grades two through
six in mind.

 Features
handouts and activities for fieldtrip and classroom
use. In recognition of the fact not every classroom
or student has access to a computer there are also
downloadable and printer friendly versions of most
of the content in the "For Kids" section.
Additionally there are review questions that may
be used in conjunction with the "For Kids"
activities (either online or offline) and tips for
teachers on how to integrate some of the content
provided here into the curriculum. While these materials
were designed with educators and students in Dakota
County as the primary audience, much of the content
could be used by educators elsewhere as well. |
The education section of the Dakota County History web
site was initially created by Robin Boe and Steve Werle
with community support provided by American Legion Post
424 of Inver Grove Heights, Burnsville Lions Club, Rosemount
Jaycees, West St. Paul Commercial Club and the Fred E.
Lawshe Memorial Fund. Activities format redesign and character
development by Kristiana Hansen. All materials are copyrighted
and may not be sold or included in any collection offered
for sale without express written permission from the Dakota
County Historical Society. They may be transmitted or
reproduced in print or electronic form free of charge
ONLY for personal use or direct use by educators..
