Farm Field Days
About Farm Field Days
Fourth grade students rotate through seven barns, with each barn highlighting aspects of life on the farm using hands-on lessons that meet VA SOL Standards.
We focus on:
-
Soil
-
Trees
-
Pollination
-
Water quality
-
Regions of VA
-
Farm animals
Farm Field Days is a fun and engaging hands-on approach to teaching students about the agricultural world around them, and opening their eyes to the importance of protecting our natural resources.
