Friends,
I am
working with teachers at schools to bring agriculture across America into their
classroom. I would love to get a current
report from your farm or ranch and find out what is taking place in a certain
month.
If you
are willing to do the following, please respond to this e-mail so I know I can
count on you! If you want, you can
request a month when you are doing something interesting, let me know. I hope to fill the every month of school with
a farmer report.
Here is
what you would have to do:
·
Please
print the Flat Aggie PDF. Be sure you do full size and in color. (It should take
up the majority of a 8.5 by 11 piece of paper.).
·
Trim it like you would a paperdoll.
·
Take a
digital photo (or several if you have a few
minutes) of Aggie seeing something in your area — the objective is for the
classes to learn about different areas of agriculture so get creative! It could
be something that sets your area apart, Aggie could help feed livestock, shovel
snow, go to the corn palace, go to your local school, work in the greenhouses,
etc.
·
Write the
class an email (send it to me) telling them about
some of the adventures you & Aggie had during your visit. Some of the
things its good to include are: climate, geography, tourist type info, and
generally any other info that would interest first through fourth graders if
they were able to visit you. One thing to note, I am working with Mrs. Piatt’s
class so feel free to mention that.
·
Send
the email (letter and photos) by the 15th of the month you volunteer
for. We
will package the letters, photos, etc up for Flat Aggie to take back and share
with the class.
·
If
you have a good ag in the classroom site that you would like to share, be sure
to include it with your report.
Thanks so
much with this project! I will also be
posting all the reports on my blog after the classes view them. If you need ideas you can go to The House
That Ag Built, she has been doing this project for several years and has all
the posts about her class and Flat Aggie archived.
If you
have a blog of your own, I welcome you to post the report on your blog and then
simply email me the link. I will also
link back to it in several different ways.
If you
have any questions, feel free to contact me and I will make this as painless as
possible for you!
Thanks
again,
Nicole
