Hello, I am the Curator of Collections and Anthropology Educator for the Cranbrook Institute of Science. I've worked at Cranbrook for over fifteen years, and have had the pleasure of providing Social Studies related content to many area schools. I would be happy to field comments or suggestions for other types of programs that would assist teachers.

The core of what we have offered has generally tied in to the current state curriculum at 3rd grade levels with our offerings on Native Americans of the Great Lakes and Fur Trade history, along with 5th grade offerings on Native Peoples nation-wide. The Money! program has also been popular at the 4th and 5th grade levels. The full slate of current programs is available at the Institute's website.  Please feel free to contact me at cwood@cranbrook.edu.
