dracina Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I don't know if anyone here can help or not, but maybe someone can point me in the right direction... I am looking for a guest speaker to talk to my 4th grade class about sustainability in agriculture and livestock production. Nothing too technical- something that 9 and 10 year-olds can understand and enjoy. I am planning an environmental awareness unit for April, and I would really love to introduce them to these ideas. My school is in the Chicago area. This would be strictly on a volunteer basis. If you are interested, please PM me. Karrin PS: If you use border collies in your operation (which I imagine you do, or else you wouldn't be here)- even better! We are currently reading a book about a sheepdog in which they are extremely interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjones Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 You could try contacting an ag extension agent, they might know of someone. Samantha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dracina Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 You could try contacting an ag extension agent, they might know of someone. Samantha Samantha, thank you for the suggestion! I was under the impression that the agricultural extensions were just available in rural areas, but there is one in Cook County. I am both surprised and thrilled, because they have many resources for teachers to use in the classroom. I will contact them this week about a speaker. Thanks again!
