Many educators suggest that the best way for students to learn is through hands on experience.
And in California, that has meant agricultural education that puts our students hands on the garden and on the grapes of our farms and ranches. But it doesn t just end there. Because there is a contest in California encouraging educators to teach students to put their hands on another agricultural tool the pencil. This writing contest for the state s elementary and middle school students. That put pencils and computer keyboards in motion all across the Golden State, with more than 4,500 students participating.
