This resource features four theme days with accompanying lesson plans and materials. Each theme day has a lesson plan, guided activities, materials, and interactive components for students to explore agriculture in Saskatchewan. Each day, students will learn about a specific topic, have a word-work/colouring activity page, and add to their ‘If I Were a Farmer’ poster page!
The first theme is about the basics of farming beginning with the ABCs of Farming presentation. The second theme is all about plants, what they need to grow, and what kind of crops are planted here in Saskatchewan. Students will even get to germinate their own sunflower! The third theme day is focused on animals, the types of farm animals that are raised in Saskatchewan, and what the farm animals eat. Students will get to see real-life examples of the different types of feed for these animals. The final theme day is about food and students growing their understanding of where food comes from by participating in an activity about by-products!
Once your class has completed the four lessons, a certification of completion is included to hand out to your class. Note: There is enough resources in each kit for two Kindergarten classes if you have alternating sections.
Be sure to download the 'ABCs of Farming Presentation' and save the link to 'The Seed Song video' for the classroom!
