CROSS CURRICULAR FARM STUDY
Girls have been immersed in learning about farms and farmers. What is the important role farmers have in contributing to meet the needs of people? Throughout the study, first graders have engaged in a deeper understanding through integrated social studies, science, art, math, language arts & design challenge activities.

Math Connection

Each farm group had a budget of $20.00 to buy animals. Girls created a shopping list adding up the costs of various animals: $2.00 for cows, horses; $1.00 for pigs, goats, sheep,  and $1.00 for 2 chicks. The girls loved picking out and paying for their farm animals.

DESIGN/ENGINEERING NOTEBOOKS: Farm Writing

First graders met in their farm groups to talk about "what people can see" and "what people can do" on their farms.  Using an anchor chart with writing workshop strategies, girls described their farms in notebooks
