June 7th saw the second part of AATG-CT's German-American History Workshop. Both the first and second parts were very well attended, and all participants were amazed about the holdings of the CT State Library (Carol Ganz) on German-speaking immigrants to Connecticut! In the second part of our workshop we worked on putting together websites and teaching materials, and we are displaying some of our "fruits of labor" soon on our links page. If you have suggestions for additional workshops, please send an e-mail to anke.finger@uconn.edu.

For now, we wish all teachers a wonderful summer and a most relaxing break until August!
