We are
inviting all 3-4th grade teachers and their students, from L.A. County, who would like to
join us on an Adventure. You and your students will learn how agriculture completes the
many pieces (water, plants, bees, fiber, food, and dairy) that form the puzzle of our
everyday lives. From the food we eat to the clothes we wear, agriculture affects us ALL.
AG DAY LA is filled with valuable hands-on educational experiences to grade school
students in L.A. County schools. It provides a fun and exciting way for teachers to
address State Standards, as well as to promote agricultural literacy. AG DAY LA is an
eye-opening event for many kids who don't know where their food comes from or have never
seen a live farm animal.
AG DAY LA 2007 will take place at the following venue: |
48th DAA
Schools’ Involvement Fair
Location: Fairplex, Pomona
Date: May 17, 2007
Time: 9-1 |
In the Los Angeles area most children, as well as adults, know very little about the
connection between our health, our food supply, natural resources, and the maintenance of
our environment. If future generations are going to care about agriculture, farming and
the preservation of a healthy food supply, they must be directly exposed to the people and
places that produce their food.
Please RSVP for this event by filling out one of the following forms that relate to you (Teacher Response Form, or Volunteer Form). Teachers
must provide adult chaperones for this event. It is also advised that students bring a
brown bag lunch. This invite is accepted on a first come first serve basis. We thank you
for your time and look forward to meeting you on our Adventure. |
