October 23 | Celebrate Food Day & Cool Calendar Page

Greetings all,

These workshops are open to all. Some of those with nominal costs are discounted for CT Green LEAF Schools  (as though you really needed an excuse to join if you haven't already!!)

A great connection of food and the curriculum!!

It is October—apple harvest time in Connecticut. See the October calendar page at http://ctaef.org/ag-in-the-classroom/2014-calendar/for apple facts, activities, and information. There is something there for all grades! They have a new calendar page each month.

This and much more can be found at www.ctaef.org  The Connecticut Agricultural Education Foundation.

Celebrate Food Day All Year!

Keney Park, Park House,  183 Windsor Ave,  Hartford, CT

Project Food, Land and People introduced Eat Well Be Well, a collection of educational material, to help students grades PreK-12 gain understanding about healthy eating.  Starting with our natural resources and ending at the table, this workshop will help educators integrate food, science, MyPlate and MyPryramid eating guidelines into the curriculum.  Learn about additional resources to help increase knowledge of local agriculture and food issues, as well as those that support the classroom.
