Civic Engagement Lesson Plans for grades 4 and 6

Agri-Cultura Cooperative Network has created lesson plans to meet NM education standards in writing and social studies around equitable healthy meals and farming.  Lesson plans have been created by local educators with resources and in depth learning options. These lesson plans can be adapted so that all students can learn about how food can help and/or hurt them. Included is a 4th and 6th grade sample lesson plan with templates and opportunities to work with a team of teachers. The standards and lessons can and should be adapted for students from 2nd grade up to high school.To e
