There is a fun class I am currently mentoring called Georgics. This is a class trained/mentored through Leadership Education Mentoring Institute (LEMI). They train mentors who then go and mentor youth in homeschool co-ops. I am thrilled that I get to mentor GEORGICS this year. The class teaches 7 Principles of Georgics, 7 results of living the principles, and 6 mini-ag field trips/hands on.
One of the mini-ags is all about Grain. Instead of going out for a field trip we stayed in and did these stations which included making and eating waffles. The kids enjoyed it all around.
Here is the packet I put together. All I did was gather info and include links where further study could be done. The packet was created so we could have a basic jumping off point for discussion about the many diverse aspects of GRAINS.
I hope it can be useful to other mentors (or anyone looking to learn more).
Please feel free to share the packet. Please include a link back to this site.
