'Stirring up Agriculture' |
|
|---|---|
|
"Stir Up Agriculture" adds agriculture content into the subject areas of Math, Science, Social Studies and ELA. Measurement concepts are used while planting vegetables in our outside garden area. We measure spacing, size of vegetables, and quantity harvested. Social Studies helps students to better understand where our Creole and Cajun roots began. We also learn to make file', grind wheat, and comb cotton. With all the sugar cane fields, we are surely going to try sugar cane! Can we help you stir up Agriculture in your classroom? Mini-Workshop Session (activity should be easily demonstrated in 25 minutes and will be repeated 4 times on Friday) | |

| Biosketch: | Jo Ann Herbert has been teaching for 21 years with a great co-partner (her sister). They have developed and planned lessons over the past few years that have allowed us to be selected as Louisiana Ag Teacher of the Year and she has been selected as a National Teacher of the Year for Louisiana. Agriculture for ME is an easy resource that allows her to enrich her lessons. Students are more engaging and their love for learning is enhanced through Agriculture in the Classroom. |

| Biosketch: | Along with my sister, Jo Ann Hebert, we have developed lessons that have enhanced our students' learning experiences. I have been teaching for 21 years. Through my agriculture lessons I have been selected as Louisiana Ag Teacher of the Year in 2014. We continue to include agriculture in our lessons so our students are always aware of how agriculture affects their lives. |
