NEW Kids Ask a Farmer - Why do you want to be a farmer?
Kids from across Nebraska have the opportunity to ask farmers and ranchers a question they have about agriculture. Check out our newest Kids Ask Video!
Classrooms: The deadline for your final letter is April 30.
Farm & Ranch volunteers: The deadline for your final letter was March 31. If you have not sent your third letter, please contact your pen pal and let them know it will be coming.
Understanding that this is a unique and challenging time for everyone, we encourage teachers and farmers/ranchers to connect and discuss how to best finish out this school year. Teachers may be able to share letters with their virtual classrooms. It may be difficult for individual students to respond. Thank you, in advance, for making the best of this unprecedented time. If you have trouble connecting with your teacher or farm/ranch volunteer, let us know at agpenpal@nefb.org.
At this unprecedented time for educators and families in Nebraska, Nebraska Agriculture in the Classroom offers materials in a convenient format for teachers and families to learn virtually and at home.
Save the dates! Join us for scheduled events on Facebook Live to visit pig farms, learn from farmers, and watch seeds grow from the comfort of home.
With these resources, students can take control of their learning! All opportunities are self-paced and have worksheets that can be printed and sent home in packets or completed online. Students can learn from weekly readers, games, and videos!
Want to engage every student? Incorporate these lesson plan activities to lead deeper conversations and increase critical thinking. Worksheets, literature guides, and curriculum provide a great starting point to engage students.
