'Engaging all Students: Adding Agriculture into the K-5 Classroom' |
|
|---|---|
|
We will show teachers how to look at their current curriculum through an “agricultural” lens using age-appropriate literature. The presentation will also demonstrate how to incorporate agricultural products into Science projects and experiments and how to develop Writing lessons based on these experiments. We will show teachers how to use agriculture as a theme and work their core curriculum around it in a project-based approach. Teachers will learn how to incorporate STEM activities into agriculture themed lessons. These activities will help all students become engaged as they learn the importance of agriculture! Workshop Session (all workshops will be 75 minutes) | |
