Culminating Activity

The best way to wrap up this unit and give the students a fantastic way to apply what they have learned is to visit a farm. I outline a farm field trip in Lesson Three that includes a scavenger hunt and an interview with a farmer. Then the students make a scrapbook of their trip that can be put in the classroom library and enjoyed all year!
