The October Ag in the Classroom lesson, presented by the Schuyler County Farm Bureau, focused on corn. Kindergarten through 2nd grades listened to the book “Corn an A-to-Z Book” by Susan Anderson. Ms. Hulvey showed them an 8-foot corn stalk and identified each part of the stalk. The students then labeled a diagram of a corn stalk. The 3rd/4th-grade students listened to “Corn in the Story of Agriculture” by Susan Anderson. They learned about the corn stalk and then were divided into two teams to play a game based on the lesson. All the students enjoyed a snack of corn chips and were able to take home a Corn Ag Mag to read.
