We had a GREAT time at Ag Day!🐮🐷🚜
Elementary students were able to rotate through 6 stations led by FFA Members, and then were able to go look at all the animals and machinery!
🌽Ag Commodity Match - students had to guess and match which everyday products came from what ag product, and learned about other items they use everyday and how they relate to ag!
🐑Sheep Wool - kids were able to feel 4 different kinds of wool, learn about wool vs hair sheep, and learn about shearing!
🍳Egg Grading - students learned about the different types of grades in eggs, what you commonly find in the store, and got to grade their own egg!
🐣Chick Life Cycle - students learned about the chick life cycle and how to care for them! They then got to take a picture with the chicks that were hatched right here in the Ag Classroom!
🧀🥛Milk & Cheese Tasting - students tried 4 different cheeses, and 4 different milks, even goat milk! They compared all the flavors and learned about dairy cattle and dairy goats.
🌻🌱Seed Planting - kids leaned about sunflowers and parts of a plant, and then decorated their own cup and planted their own sunflower seed!
Special thanks to Farm Bureau for donating chips for lunch, Hy-Vee for donating water and apples, and the Appanoose County Cattleman’s Association for coming out to grill hamburgers!
