Farm to Classroom Pen Pal Programs: Fence Rows to Prose.
Learn how you can implement a Pen Pal Program in your own classroom or Ag in the Classroom programs all with the goal of agricultural literacy. The Pen Pal Program connects farmers with students to help bridge the gaps in generations of students removed from the farm. In this workshop we will cover how to partner up farmers & classrooms, ensure great participation and success, and how this project connects directly into the Common Core.
