Buzzing Through a Year of Ag in Kindergarten

Agriculture goes hand in hand with science, as well other subjects. I’d like to share some STEM projects from my classroom. Using a PowerPoint and hands-on materials, participants will journey through a lesson based on the text “From Plant to Seed” using enrichment activities to integrate NGSS and integrate ELA, mathematics, science and ag. Focusing on integration leads to greater student involvement, motivation and retention of content. I will share my Kinder Kicks blog with activities that incorporate agriculture. I am passionate about providing young students with meaningful and rigorous lessons. Participants will create a “Travelers Log” for notes!
