    Write pork on the board. Pass out KLS Activity Sheet 2. Explain to the students that they will be

    record what they have learned. The last column will not be used until the Closure when they will
    record all of the things they would still like to learn about pork.

    Distribute Cover Activity Sheet 1. Explain to students that they will be completing activity sheets
    every day. The activity sheets will be collected each day and assembled into a booklet after the

    Extension Activities
    Recommended for Use Each Day:

    Taste Test Each day, choose a pork product for taste testing. Use Taste Test - III provided and
    have students place an X after yes if they like the tasted item, or after no if they do not. Or,
    choose two similar items and have them place an X by the one they like best. Discuss the results.
    o

    Ideas for sample products: bacon, pork chops, sausage, pepperoni, and hot dogs

    Word Toss Vocabulary Game Each day, assign a pair of students a vocabulary word. Give each
    pair two 3 X 5 cards. Have them print the word on one card and the definition on the other. Use the
    cards to play the Word Toss Vocabulary Game. Toss the cards into the air. Have students pick up
    one card and move around the room trying to find a matching partner. If they pick up a vocabulary
    word, they must find the matching definition. If they pick up a definition, they must find the matching
    word. Have the students stand in a circle next to the person who has a match. Go around the circle
    and have one student read the word and have their partner read the definition to see if they have
    matched up correctly. At first, there will be limited vocabulary, so assign more than one pair of
    students the same word. As you move through the Producers, Pigs & Pork lessons, there will be
    more vocabulary words to work with so begin to remove duplicate words and definitions, keeping the
    number of cards equal to the number of students in the class. Let the students take turns being the
    one who gets to toss the words.

    Concentration Each day, use the cards from the Word Toss Vocabulary Game to play
    Concentration. Make several sets so small groups can play. Shuffle the cards. Place the cards face
    down and have the students try to match the vocabulary word with the meaning.

    Hello from _______________,

    Our class is studying a unit on the pork industry called Producers, Pigs & Pork. During the study of this
    unit, your child will learn about the pork industry as it relates to these five topics: Where Does My Food
    Come From?, Where Does My Pork Come From?, How Is My Environment Being Protected?, How Is
    Pork Good for Me?, and Whats All of the Buzz About Pork? It is important that our future generations
    have a good understanding of where our food comes from and the role agriculture plays in our lives.

    Home and School Connections


    Parents often ask how they can help their children learn. Here are some simple things you can do at
    home to reinforce what your child learns at school.

    Talk about the various pork products you have in your home.
    Look at favorite recipes to see what pork products are included in the ingredients or could
    possibly be substituted for other ingredients.
    Cook together with your child using recipes that contain pork products.
    Shop together at the grocery store looking at all the food choices that include pork.
    Sample new pork products that your child has not experienced. Students will be making a Like
    List of pork products they enjoy.
    Investigate your family history and any connections to agriculture.
    Discuss what your child is learning about the pork industry in school.

    Have fun exploring the pork industry and the important role it plays in our lives.

    Sincerely,

    P.S. Please save and send to school ads that include pork products. The students will be using them for
    an activity in our Producers, Pigs & Pork unit. Thank you!
