Free Adopt-a-Cow program for classrooms

DiscoverDairy is offering classrooms of all kinds an opportunity to “adopt a cow.”

The Adopt-a-Cow program is completely free for classrooms. Registration is through October 15th.

Throughout the program you’ll learn her name, when her birthday is, where she lives, and how the farmer takes care of her.

You’ll receive pictures of the cow, activity sheets for the students, a PowerPoint of information, and a suggested lesson plan that follows Common CORE standards.

Classrooms are encouraged to fully engage in the program, and write letters to their calf and host farmer.

You’re eligible to sign up if:

You teach in a traditional classroom setting.
You are homeschooling your kids/family members/friends.
You run an after school program.
You facilitate a library program.
You have an agriculture program at your museum or kid’s center.
You are one of the above and are teaching/leading from in or outside of the United States
