Virtual Field Trip Newsbites
What are News Bites?
News Bites are two-sided activity sheets that reinforce the information learned during our virtual farm field trips! On the front side, you can find more information about the farm we visited as well as a summary of the field trip. On the back side, you will find a review of the content and a short activity for students to complete! Currently, we offer News Bites for grades K-2, 3-5, and 6-8. Check them out below!
