As a senior member interested in education, Alexis developed plans providing her peers with blueprints and list of materials for each lesson.
Students in the course were challenged to further develop instructional material for the first graders. Jacob Butler, a junior, stated, “Teaching can be more trying than I thought. We practiced the lessons for a week before we visited Roopville Elementary – I think our groups must have done ten run-throughs the help of Ms. Williford to stream line our presentations and activities.”
Lessons for the afternoon included those based on animal science, both dairy verses beef, as well as small animal care. It is the hope that the collaboration with Roopville Elementary and Central High FFA will continue and instill a love for agriculture in our young lions. Central High FFA advisors are Mr. Chuck Joiner, Ms. Laura Williford, and Mrs. Nikhol Dysart.
There are more than 610,000 FFA members nationwide. The Georgia Association has over 37,500 members, making it the 3rd largest Association in the nation. The FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success, through agricultural education.
