materials for Ag in the Classroom pantry (teaching supplies

(My students) have tasted fruits
and vegetables that they have never been willing to try.
They have learned there are healthy cereals that are good
and good for you. The students are able to see plants and
explain how the soil, water and sunshine help them grow.
When they see animals they know what a farmer has to do to
keep them healthy and why we need animals in our life as
a food source.
