New Year 2008 Acres of Agventures

New Ag Mags

Horticulture: This issue describes how horticulture and the green industry play an important role in Illinois.  Learn all about the different areas of horticulture such as turf management, floriculture, plant nurseries, landscape design, greenhouses, and more.  This Ag Mag focuses on the expanding industry and what careers students can take in the industry.  Unlike other Ag Mags, this one is written at a sixth to eighth grade level and involves high vocabulary, facts, and figures, but with real-life pictures and a great background, elementary students can understand and learn a lot from this Ag Mag as well.

Our New Favorite Lesson

New Classroom Resources

Ag in a Plain Brown Wrapper- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!!!  Create these agriculture-themed art projects using a plain brown wrapper or brown paper bag.  These projects are a great way to either kick off or wrap up studying an Ag topic.  Many of them involve reading different AITC Ag Mags.
