PDA Milk Can Lessons
For Pre-K through third grades, music and special lessons teach students about
what happens on a working farm. For fourth grade and up, Milk Can lessons
focus on where food comes from and the variety of products produced right here
in Pennsylvania.
Available from the Department of Agriculture’s Regional Offices, the messages
and learning conveyed through the milk can activities will last a lifetime and
help students appreciate agriculture – while making smart, delicious choices at
each meal.
