Do you ever feel under the weather or have a short time to fill before a school assembly? Keep your students learning with this cross-curricular unit based around a nonfiction text about farming. Students will talk about foods grown on farms, plan their own farm, practice counting plants and animals, and match foods to crops. With little or no preparation time needed, an emergency lesson plan like this one is the perfect backup plan for those "I just can't teach right now" moments.
