Dear 4^th grade classroom teachers or ANY OTHER grade classroom teachers who feel this resource would fit well in your lessons! 

This past fall, winter and now spring, the Oregon State University Food Hero Campaign team has been inviting all fourth-grade teachers in Oregon to test out the 2023/24 2^nd edition of the Explore the Bees of Oregon educational activity book, for free!  We still have some books remaining, so we are sending this out again and adding Oregon classroom teachers in other grades who feel they can use this resource in their teaching!  The alignment is 4^th grade, but we have received feedback that teachers have used it successfully with all grades – you can view the book and virtual accompanying toolkit (which is often updated) here: (www.foodhero.org/bees). 

To sign-up: fill out a short order form, here: https://beav.es/Thz. 

Those who sign-up will be emailed in May a short survey to provide feedback/suggestions for ways to improve the book for a Volume 3 printing.  Classroom teachers who provide feedback will be given early access to Version 3 printed books, a sneak peek at online printable V3 pages, and other great free mailed resources.

Development of V3 is well under way and is super exciting per a new grant which also has printing of some V3 books funded.  And we are working to submit more grants for more book printing funds and resource kits to accompany the books.   

Please forward this email to teachers in your school or community who might be interested in this opportunity.  And email me or leave me a phone message anytime!

Warmly,

Lauren and team
