PPPC brings 'Pig in the Classroom' experience to schools
Teachers will receive lesson plans to compliment the virtual field trip, where students will get a first-hand look into modern day pig production.
February 24, 2023
On April 28, a virtual learning opportunity offered by the Indiana State Fairgrounds and the LEAP Foundation — "There's a Pig in my Classroom" — will be introduced to Pennsylvania elementary schools. Through funding offered by the Pennsylvania Pork Producers Council, students in grades 3 through 6 are welcomed inside a pig farm via a Zoom interactive learning session.
The program is free for teachers to enroll, but there are limited spots available for PA Day. Pre-registration is required, and can be done online. Teachers will receive lesson plans to compliment the virtual field trip, where students will get a first-hand look into modern day pig production.
Interested teachers can expect a 45-minute virtual session and accompanying lesson plans to be provided. For more information about the program and the academic standards covered through the lesson, visit the Indiana State Fairs website.
