Dufferin prepares for students
Dufferin County volunteers are preparing for thousands of school children to visit the International Plowing Match & Rural Exposition Sept. 19 to 23 at Bowling Green.
They say registration spaces for classroom trips are filling fast and they anticipate having 70,000 come.
The education team have worked hard to ensure the experiences and opportunities at the match appeal to every grade level and are in alignment with the current classroom curriculum, drawing the connections between food and agriculture with science, math, language, health, arts, environmental and social studies, said Brianne Curtis, chair of the education committee.
Organizers have prepared a comprehensive, 30-page Curriculum Connections document to assist educators with both their trip planning and post-visit classroom activities that covers all the grades from Junior Kindergarten through to Grade 12.
Both the Online School Registration Form and the downloadable Curriculum Connections document are available at www.plowingmatch.org/ipm2023/education/. The deadline to register is Friday, September 8.
