In celebration of New York agriculture, volunteers throughout the state will read a book with an agricultural theme to second graders. Students and teachers will also benefit from hands-on lessons and receive follow up activities.
The book will be donated to the school or classroom library with a bookplate recognizing the donor and NY Agricultural Literacy Week. Now in its 15th Year, Agricultural Literacy Week has helped to bring agriculturally themed books and resources into thousands of classrooms and libraries throughout New York State.
The books are $12 each and will be donated to the school library after being read. Use the book order form HERE, or contact Susan Coyle if you have questions. Donors will be recognized on a special bookplate. You may choose to have your donated book sent to a specific school, or you may volunteer to read it yourself at your local school.
The 4-H Program (offered by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Monroe County), in collaboration with the Monroe County Farm Bureau, will be providing volunteers to read to 2nd grade classes in Monroe County. The program lasts 40 minutes and includes a related activity after the book-reading. This program is FREE to all Monroe County 2nd grade classrooms!
