Ag in the Classroom is a free program that visits DuPage schools to teach the importance of ag-riculture. The lessons can be adjusted for all age levels and meet learning standards. We would

also be happy to be a part of community events that relate to our agricultural literacy program vision and goals.

Teacher Quote about an AITC Visit:

“The students learned so much! The presentations were

engaging, visual, and the activities were hands-on.”

– Stone School, 3rd grade

Ag in the Classroom GrantsIn December 2019, DuPage teachers and libraries were

awarded grants funded by the DuPage County Farm Bureau Foundation. Check out their agriculture inspired projects!

Note: Many applicants were unable to host their pro-grams before the COVID-19 shut down and will complete their projects in the fall.

“Class Nonfiction Library to Support an Understanding of Plants”

Sabrina Breault & Catherine Boyce – Pierce Downer Elementary, Downers Grove- 1st Grade

Sabrina and Catherine purchased five new agriculture accurate books, National Geographic Readers, and TIME for Kids Materials for their 1st grade classes. All the materials were related to plants. Students did a variety of activities with the books including investigating questions that they had about the story, writing about an interesting fact that they learned, and drawing a picture about the fact. As part of their science curriculum, the class read We are the Gar-deners and sprouted beans in their classroom. Students also recorded themselves reading the books, and their parents were able to see what they were learning!

“Trees for the Bees”Julie Ramirez- Glen Crest Middle School, Glen Ellyn –

5th-8th Grade Special Ed

Julie’s students used the grant to purchase soil, pots, and pans for their Trees for the Bees project. Students planted seeds of apple, date, peach, and avocado trees. As the seeds sprouted, they charted their growth and leaves. Over the course of the project, students learned about bees and pol-lination, the importance of worms in soil, and basic plant parts. Students also created a recipe book featuring the four fruits that they were growing.

Teacher Spotlight: Beth Nolin Our team visits classrooms throughout DuPage County.

Let’s meet some of the amazing teachers that utilize our program!

Beth Nolin is a 2nd grade teacher from Prospect El-ementary in Clarendon Hills. After her teammate learned about Ag in the Classroom online, they began using the program with our Educa-tor, Marilyn DeVries. Three years later, Beth continues to utilize AITC to connect agri-culture concepts to her social studies standards. “I think that Ag in the Classroom has brought the students a better understanding of the benefits we all enjoy thanks to farming” she says.

Beth finds the hands-on activities of Ag in the Classroom to be especially valuable to students. Her class enjoys a va-riety of lessons throughout the year. Some of their favorite topics include making butter during the dairy lesson, creat-ing the soybean germination necklace, and seeing how agriculture is connected to pizza and baseball. “The reason I like all of these lessons is that they show the kids in a very relatable way a part of the world that they don’t have a lot of experience with.” Beth hopes that some of her students may grow up and choose jobs in the agriculture industry because of their experiences with AITC visits.

Summer is a welcome season for many of us. Op-portunities for outdoor ac-tivities offer several choices. Among these choices is flower, fruit, and vegetable gardening. Connecting with mother nature, and yes, getting soil under your fingernails, is an activity that presents many benefits for the gardener. What are some of the benefits of gardening that research has indicated?

Reducing stress is a common benefit. In stud-ies centering on mental health issues, gardening is known to help relieve

symptoms of depression and anxiety. Gardening helps re-focus thoughts on things alive, growing, and thriving. Some rehabilitation centers are now incorporating hor-ticultural related activities in their rehab program to combat depression.

Clinical studies have indi-cated that self-esteem can be enhanced with garden-ing. A sense of satisfaction may emerge when one observes plants growing, thus reflecting your nurture and care. This observation can create a needed positive feeling of accomplishment.

The risk of future demen-tia onset may be lowered by gardening. A 2006 study tracked more than 2,800 people over age 60 for 16 years. The conclusion was

that physical activity, partic-ularly gardening, could help reduce the risk of dementia onset by 36 percent. Gar-dening aided brain health in these areas: strength, endur-ance, dexterity learning, problem solving, and sensory awareness.

The list of benefits for gardening goes on and on. Topping the list for garden-ing may be the satisfaction and pleasure of growing our own food. We have the choice of what we plant. We can control much of the care-taking pro-cess and how we nurture growing plants. The end result is we eat what we grow. Consum-ing fresh, home-grown fruits

and vegetables provide for a healthy diet and personal satisfaction of a job “well done”.

Gardening has been a part of the worldwide cul-ture dating back to ancient times. It may be linked to planting in pots, backyard plots, community gardens, to acres on a farm. The benefits may be discussed as topics of social concern, emotional and physical health, an economic entity, recreation, or simply as a foundation for a healthy diet. What is your garden-ing story?

Roots Run Deep in the Garden

I literally followed Mom’s footsteps into my garden-ing hobby. As a youngster, I walked behind my mom while she guided the tiller across the garden. When her heel lifted from the freshly tilled soil, I put mine down onto her footprint that formed in that soft black medium for vegetable seeds and transplants. I stretched to reach each footprint, careful not to step on her heel as she slowly guided the front-tine machine. We steadily paced back and

forth across the garden with me right on her heels through the last pass.

Those early moments sowed my deep-rooted passion for growing fruits and vegetables for my fam-ily. Mom taught me how to plant, weed, identify insects and harvest, as well as store, prepare, and preserve home-grown food. At night in front of the TV, we shelled pea pods that filled five-gallon buckets. We cured and stored onions, snapped and canned green beans, and ate meals entirely of our own fresh pro-duce and freezer meat.

Gardening makes me feel good, which empow-ers me to fill our backyard with vegetable plots, fruit trees, berry beds and flow-ers like the farm women before me. I like feeding healthy produce to my fam-ily. I equally enjoy looking at the garden like a piece of artwork. I consider the soil a

blank canvas, where my kids and I plant seeds to paint groupings of feathery carrot tops, scratchy squash vines and sky-reaching sunflower blossoms.

Suddenly, more people seek this wholesome ex-perience. Sales of flower and vegetable transplants doubled this year for the small-town greenhouse that I frequent. The coronavirus pandemic stimulated busi-ness from new customers who wanted to shop local and first-time gardeners with rekindled thoughts about self-sufficiency. I hope their sensitive plants sur-vived the season’s abnormal-ly late-spring frosts, which challenged even experienced gardeners.

Our daughter recorded those nights of frost-pro-

tective coverings for her FFA and 4-H projects. Soon, her recordbook entries will include picking zucchini, arranging fresh-cut flow-ers, and canning pizza sauce made from homegrown tomatoes. Our son helps, too, but shows the most enthusiasm for the garden when digging potatoes and gathering apples with the 10-foot picker pole.

At a minimum, I hope gardening teaches our kids to appreciate the skill, re-sponsibility and dedication required to produce food. At most, maybe they will make more footsteps to follow.
