A new book was featured last month with our Ag in the Classroom program, “It’s Corn Picking Time.”

Southeast Warren CSD Second Grade classes ventured out to the fields next to their school to learn about harvest time!

It’s even better having their fellow classmates, who come from farm families, explain how they harvest corn and soybeans on their farm!

🫜 Exploring Natural Dyes with Whittier Fifth Graders!

During CKLA time, fifth-grade students at Whittier Elementary School explored the science behind natural dyes and the colorful world of plants!

Students took an in-depth look at tannins and pigments and how these naturally occurring compounds in plants can be used to create color. They learned how plants have been used throughout history to dye fabrics and other materials, connecting plant science to everyday products and the world around us.

Through hands-on exploration, students discovered how agriculture provides more than just the food we eat. Plants also provide natural materials, colors, and fibers that have been used by people for generations!

Ag in the Classroom brings agriculture to life through engaging, hands-on learning experiences that help students make connections between agriculture, science, history, and their everyday lives.

Thank you to Whittier Elementary and Mrs. Wendt for welcoming Ag in the Classroom into your fifth-grade CKLA classrooms!

🎨 Agriculture is all around us - sometimes in the most colorful ways!

🐑 A Little Lamb, A Big Learning Experience!

The Ernst family recently brought a special visitor to Laura Ingalls Wilder Elementary School - a beautiful black-nosed Valais lamb!

Kindergarten students had the opportunity to meet the lamb up close while learning about sheep and the important role they play in agriculture. One fifth-grade class also got to enjoy the visit too.

As Warren County Farm Bureau members, the Ernst family recognizes the value of agricultural education and the importance of helping children understand where their food and fibers come from. By bringing a real lamb into the classroom, they gave students a memorable, hands-on learning experience that connected agriculture to everyday life.

A big thank-you to the Ernst family for sharing their lamb and passion for agriculture with these students, and to the Wilder Elementary teachers for welcoming this adorable visitor into their classrooms!

Ag Innovators is a popular two-part lesson we do with 4th graders.

Students work in groups to research their innovator who has agricultural connections to Iowa.

They created a poster and then presented to the class. Some even dressed the part or brought in props, including a corn stalk from their family farm to talk about genetics! Very impressive for 4th grade!

This lesson is from Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation.
