Making the grade.
To make sure the tour meets your needs, we did our homework and consulted with teachers. The result is an interactive, activity-driven tour that does the following:
- Meets and reinforces Arizona education standards while making learning about dairy fun
- Works with your existing curriculum to bring classroom lessons to life
- Includes downloadable lesson plans in math, history, reading comprehension and more
