My American Farm



DateDear ?????,I would like to introduce you to a free online gaming platform that was developed to engage millions of youth, teachers, and parents in learning about agriculture.My American Farm is an educational game platform launched in 2011 to engage pre-K through fifth grade learners in the discovery of relevant agricultural issues. Today the free site offers 19 agriculturally-themed games and more than 100 free educator resources such as lesson plans, activity sheets and comics. I have volunteered to spread the word about this great resource and would like to visit your classroom to discuss agriculture with your students. Specifically, I’d like to schedule a 45- to 60-minute presentation with one Kindergarten- to 5th-grade classroom. During the presentation, I will:Play one of the educational games on the site as a fun, engaging, whole-classroom activityConduct a hands-on educational activity that teaches students about how agriculture affects their livesLeave students with an educational activity to take home and additional information about how to access the site on their ownProvide a letter for students to take to their parents explaining the purpose of the classroom visit and encouraging them to access the free games and fun family activities available on the siteI’d like ask your permission to photograph portions of the visit for promotional purposes should I choose to do so. (If permission request forms are required, please let me know beforehand, and I will be happy to provide them.)Please note: Copies of the lesson plan and all handouts will be provided in advance for your review.Thank you for your consideration in having me show this exciting new resource. Please let me know a date and time in the coming months when we can plan a visit. In the meantime, I hope you will enjoy exploring the website at: , and please let me know if you have any questions at all.Best regards,FirstName LastNameTitleCompanyAddressAddressTelephoneTelephone2e-mailwebsite ................
