We are inviting all 3rd -4th grade teachers and their students, (and home schoolers) 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 throughout the greater Los Angeles area. 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 2012 will take place at Faieplex, Pomona' Big Red Barn on Thursday, May 17, 2012. Please choose a rotation that will accommodate your schedule!

Here is a link for teachers that need grants for bus funding in order to attend the AG DAY LA 2012 event: http://www.farmology.com/programs.html#activity


Early Bird Rotation 9:30 – 11:30 FULL
OR
Late Bird Rotation 10:50 – 12:40 FULL

Please make sure you arrive at the Big Red Barn with plenty of time to spare for registration! It will be about a 10 minute walk from the drop off zone near another event called Schools' Agriculture and Nutrition Fair "We Have A Good Thing Growing" (Tuesday, May 15 through Saturday May 19, 2012) at the Pomona Fairplex, Building 10. Upon exiting the bus, AG DAY LA attendees should look for a docent in a yellow bandana to bring you to AG DAY LA 2012 at the Big Red Barn.
