Great Books, Cool Science, and Awesome Agriculture

Webinar via Zoom | One PD Hour
Hosted by IL Agriculture in the Classroom

Register by September 17 and we’ll send you a pack of material to use during this hands-on activity-filled session.  

With the continued focus on literacy, it’s hard to find time for science instruction during the school day. But what if you could teach important scientific concepts while also reading engaging and exciting children’s literature? Join IL Agriculture in the Classroom as they show you how you can read great books, teach the NGSS, and even help students appreciate the awesome agriculture all around them — all at the same time!
