Siouxland Agriculture in the Classroom
Kara Jensen from the Lyon County Farm Bureau came to our 2nd and 4th grade classrooms today. She is the Siouxland Ag in the Classroom teacher who services four counties and several schools here in Northwest Iowa. She will be coming once a month again this year to share her knowledge and personal experiences in relation to agriculture.
This visit she challenged the students to imagine what our world would be like without agriculture by-products. To help them better understand she brought their attention to several by-products found right here in our classroom. Following her lesson, the students worked in groups to sort as many by-product pictures as they could by what they were made from. We are very thankful that Miss Kara came to explain by-products and remind us how important agriculture is in our everyday living and learning.
