Are you a K-2 teacher? Tired of going to workshops and not having sessions for your grade level? Looking for ways to make learning fun and more engaging? Well come to our session “Cultivating Agriculture through the Arts.” In this session you will be given an activity guide that uses a piece of literature that will introduce an agricultural concept. Activities in the guide will integrate agriculture into the arts and core subject areas. Go back to your school excited to use drama, music, art, and storytelling to teach the story of agriculture. Workshop Session (all workshops will be 75 minutes) | |
