Almond Board of California (ABC) recently developed lesson plans that round out its educational offerings, including a video and an activity book, for elementary schools in California’s Central Valley. The lesson plans, “California Almonds: An Almond Story,” offer a unit outline for educators to teach students about the history and applications of almonds. For the past six years, ABC has worked with California Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom to offer the popular “An Almond Story” video and accompanying activity book, which insert the teaching of agriculture — specifically almonds — into the classroom.
