Dear Educator,

The following IN Standards will be met while visiting Farm Fun. Our farm is designed for Preschool through 4th grade students, but as you see, an introduction to upper level standards is included in our program. All presentations are grade-level appropriate. Topics will include:

• Pumpkins
• Forestry
• Farm Animals
• Honey Bees

The students will explore farm life while participating in a variety of activities. Activities may include puzzles, hands-on crafts and building activities, a scavenger hunt, and other activities. Students will need to be divided into small groups so they may rotate between activities. Of course

a trip to the pumpkin patch will be included.

We look forward to your visit and hope you will find it educational and fun for your students. If you

have any questions about topics or scheduling please call Jim at 502-807-5601.
