Chandler Elementary

Today marks our very first presentation of Ag After School!!! We presented at Chandler Elementary in Allen, TX and had a blast!! Thank you so much to all of our participants and volunteers! During our presentation we discussed a few things including:
  • What is agriculture?
  • What are products made from agriculture, and what are some that are not?
  • Agricultural professions
  • Veterinarians, including how they can help the vet while at the clinic, some animals that they care for, and what they can do (not all just dogs and cats)
  • Potato crops and grass (crop nourishment) 
After we talked about crop nourishment we made real life Mr. Potato heads! Each of the kids had a mason jar for their Mr.P, they started off with a full potato then we dug our a little hole in the head. After that they drew on faces, and glued on googlie eyes, once their faces were complete we knew they needed hair! Using wet cotton balls as their water source we soaked some grass seed and imputed it into the hole in the potato! Once his body was done, using toothpicks and popsicle sticks, the Mr. P's were given arms and legs then put to stand in the mason jars! 

The kids had a great time and are extremely excited for our Barn Tour, taking place November 1st at our Allen FFA project center! Below are pictures from our afternoon at Chandler Elementary
