Ag In The Classroom
Vermilion County: Winter 2020 Edition
Hello Principals & Teachers,
You can still sign up for lessons this year! Depending on your current school status, I can tailor lessons to accommodate the needs of your classroom. We are offering virtual lessons by Zoom or Google Meets that can be in the classroom, at home, or on YouTube. All three options will offer FREE Ag bags that contain materials for the lesson.
I am currently teaching our Chocolate lesson that runs through January 15th. This lesson has been a very SWEET one for students! They learn all about Cocoa Farmers and where their chocolate comes from. If interested, please contact me.
Thank you again for your support in our program as we navigate this year!
Sincerely,
Thea Gernand
