Ag in the Classroom teaches fourth-graders about cranberries

 

[December 03, 2021] 

For November, the Ag in the Classroom theme was cranberries, staying true to the time of year and the thanksgiving tradition of consuming cranberries in some form at holiday meals.

Fourth grade students at Washington Monroe made predictions about cranberries bouncing and did taste testing of fresh and dried cranberries.

Fun Fact: Did you know that inside every cranberry are four air chambers, which allow it to float in water? That is why water harvesting is so effective.

Logan County Ag in the Classroom program is sponsored by Logan County University of Illinois Extension, Logan County Farm Bureau, Ag in the Classroom and Logan-Sangamon-Menard Agricultural Education Partnership. The goal of this organization is to teach students about the farms that produce the food we eat daily and also on special occasions.
