“DO-IT-YOURSELF”
AGRICULTURE EDUCATION PROGRAM

 

THE FARMER GROWS A RAINBOW
Created by North Carolina Agriculture in the Classroom

The Farmer Grows a Rainbow classroom kit focuses on the link between agriculture and the MyPyramid nutritional resource with useful lesson plans and physical activity exercises for first through 5th grade students and will help you make certain the youth you present to will understand that the "rainbow" of abundant, safe food they enjoy comes from farmers.

Most of the resources in this kit can be found on-line here.  The purpose of the kit is that everything is already printed, laminated and/or magnetized and ready to use with very little preparation. 

If you're looking for a hearty, nutritious lunch to accompany this program check out Kansas Stone Soup.
