Farm to Table
There are so many community workers to talk about when discussing food from farm to table.
Working Together
Farmers rely on many different people to make the farm work efficiently. Explore how a farm operates to spark a discussion of teamwork, setting up a Farm Chores Obstacle Course would be a great activity to compliment this discussion.
During your activities make connections to the classroom or family. Just like a farm it takes a whole team of people to make a classroom or family work well. Encourage children to think about what they can do to contribute to their family and classrooms.
I Am Helpful Class BookFor Social Studies we suggested talking to your students about teamwork on a farm.
This is a good time to talk to children about how they are helpful. Community Member Sheena W. shared these photos of the binder she created for showcasing ways the children in her program are helpful. A class book about teamwork is a great way to boost children's self-esteem, encourage them to help out, and foster a sense of community. Sheena says "I put this book in our reading center, the children often flip through it and 'read' it."
