Meet Us At the Garden

Our seeds that we grew in school will be the start of great beginnings. At Yunker Farm, our class garden will be used to assist hungry people in our community.  We will join in with an area school that will assist us from time to time on this project.  These students will also be recipients of our project. We have planted some foods that are commonly eaten within their culture also.

 We are appreciative of the assistance that the Farm Bureau is giving us.  ND Ag in the Classroom has been instrumental in our ability to assist others in need as our students learn about gardening.

Students will be informed  when to"Meet Us At The Garden" and we will plant, dig, weed, and enjoy the day. We're east of the ABC Garden, and north of mini-golf.   Bring your garden gloves, tools, and water.  Those participating will be invited to a lunch at the end of the gardening season.  (5 visits)

Bring a grandma, bring a gardener.   We'll also use our math skills to talk about planting, thinning, yield, etc...  I'll bring my guitar and some gardening books too!  If we have time we'll sing our ag songs or listen to a story.
If you have a preference of times to meet out there, let me know. 

Meet you at the garden!

Be Healthy~ Stay Healthy

Healthy Living Day is part of learning about healthy foods that are grown to nourish our body.  We had speakers for the whole class to hear and presenters that got us movin'!   Our "kick-off" was done by Mr. Patrick Kasper, a recent guest of Oprah and Rachel Ray.  Our healthy snacks were all foods grown, celery, apples, and Sunbutter.  We thank Sunbutter for their donation.

Careers In Ag

Students in our class each gave an oral presentation about an agricultural career.  They dressed up and brought along a prop.  While presenting their information, each member of our 3rd grade class documented the information presented on a powerpoint. Each student has an Electronic Student Portfolio in which they hyperlink each presentation they make to their 3rd grade portfolio.   This is our class slideshow of agricultural careers.
