Agriculture Literacy Week 2024

March 18-22 is Agricultural Literacy Week in New York State.

AGIntro2024

This 7-part Mini Series includes:
  • An Introduction of NYS Agriculture
  • Three Farming Profiles
  • A Fun Agriculture Crossword Puzzle and Word Search
  • And a Kid-Friendly Recipe featuring Strawberries!

    These resources were created in partnership with New York Agriculture in the Classroom and were designed for use by teachers with students to help increase the awareness, understanding, and appreciation of New York State agriculture.

    This year's book is "I LOVE Strawberries" by Shannon Anderson with pictures by Jaclyn Sinquett. Like the book, this series highlights the planting, growing, harvesting, selling and eating of strawberrues.

The materials include 7 features, and a set of graphic organizers in PDF format.
