FFA Week @ the Elementary

With FFA week also came a lot of fun over at the elementary! FFA members Tarah Ross and Madie Rauch went over to the elementary school to read to grades K-3 and made dirt cups with the fourth and fifth graders. The girls read Tractor MAC arrives at the farm to the kindergarteners, and Tops and Bottoms to the third graders on Tuesday. The second graders heard Farmer Dale’s Red pickup truck on Monday. On Thursday and Friday, the girls made dirt cup models explaining the layers of soil. They used Reese’s chips as the bedrock, crushed graham crackers as the subsoil, chocolate pudding as the parent material, crushed Oreos as the topsoil, and they used gummy worms as organic material.  If the students could recite the layers in order correctly they got whipped cream on the top of their yummy desserts. FFA members also went over before school and ate breakfast with all of the elementary students on Wednesday. Throughout the whole week, we explained the importance of FFA and what we do as a chapter. By doing this, we are advocating and recruiting future members of the FFA.
