Welcome to our At Home Learning Page!
We will do our best to offer weekly ideas for at home learning about agriculture!
These activities will all be free to access and share. Our weekly activities do not build on each other, but are individual and can be done in any order.
This week we are celebrating the EARTH! April 22nd is Earth Day. Find out how farmers are working to keep our soil and water healthy.
