3 Classroom Setup Hacks for Ag Literacy Learning
Gearing up for the new school year? Here are some tips for setting up your classroom to help with Ag Literacy Learning!
1. Posters!
Posters are a boring wall’s best friend. We have awesome posters that will help students understand agriculture a bit better!
- Plant Parts We Eat – Shows students how sometimes we are eating the fruit, stem, leaf, flower or seeds of a plant.
- My Food Connection Poster – Side 1 introduces students to the farmers who grow different food groups. Side 2 explores the food groups and portion recommendations.
- Ag Career Posters – Great for older classrooms, these posters show off the many different career options agriculture has to offer.
2. Bulletin Boards!
Bulletin boards are a great way to start a conversation, inspire students, and help spark excitement about a topic. Why not make an Ag Themed board!
Here are a few fun ideas for an Ag related bulletin board:
- Welcome baaaaack – Sheep/ Wool Facts
- Kinder-GARDEN board
- What do Plants Need to Grow?
- Nutrition/Myplate
- Plant Parts
3. Create an Ag Book Library
Stock your library with accurate ag books! You can search our database of accurate ag books by grade level to help you pick out some good ones for your reading area!
