Discover how agricultural animals, plants, and food can support academic standards in English Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies! Participants will review agricultural themed children’s books from Minnesota Agriculture in the Classroom’s two new book bundles – K-2nd grade focused bundle of 10 books and 3rd-5th grade focused bundle of 10 books. Attendees will also complete standards-based, hands-on activities connected to these books. The book bundles and their companion educator guides, as well as the activities, will provide the basis for brainstorming and discussion about utilizing these resources as an entry point for integrating agriculture in classrooms and curricula.
