Apple Reader
Nebraska Agriculture in the Classroom is pleased to provide kindergarten classrooms with Apple Reader.
Apple Reader is an exclusive resource for Nebraska kindergarten classrooms and aligns with content area standards for language arts, social studies, and math. This resource introduces students to where the food they eat comes from in Nebraska. Students will explore apple production through educational activities and lessons.
Apple Reader can serve as a large class discussion piece, an activity for small groups or individuals, or an at-home enrichment resource. Use the corresponding Teacher’s Guide that contains classroom integration ideas, Nebraska content area standards connections, and a glossary.
Students today are becoming further removed from food sources. Apple Reader aims to bridge the gap between farm to table by equipping students with the knowledge of how food grows and becomes a meal from farmers in Nebraska while helping teachers accomplish learning outcomes.
Nebraska Agriculture in the Classroom recognizes the wisdom, creativity, and dedication teachers invest in the classroom. The goal of Nebraska Agriculture in the classroom is to support you with lesson plans and activities that enhance classroom learning. We invite you to explore this resource and engage students in a conversation about agriculture!
