Literacy Week Monday, March 16, 2020 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Agriculture Literacy Week is March 16th-20th! The signature book for 2020 is Right This Very Minute by Lisl H. Detlefsen with art by Renee Kurilla. In this book readers find out what farmers are doing right this very minute to ensure we have safe, nutritious and delicious foods when we want them.  This year our book is geared for K through 3rd grade.Once your classroom has registered that they would like to participate, a volunteer will contact you to arrange a day and time to come in, read the book and do a activity. The whole program lasts from a 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. In February volunteers will be contacting teachers directly to coordinate dates and times.In the past some schools have a specific volunteer that has read to them. If you would like to request a specific reader there is an opportunity to do so.All school requests must be in by January 10th! This allows enough time to order books, supplies and arrange volunteer readers.Please follow this link for more information and/or to register your classroom: https://reg.cce.cornell.edu/2020agLit_230To Register to be a Volunteer Reader click the link below: https://reg.cce.cornell.edu/2020aglitvol_230 No Fee Lynette Kay, lsk23@cornell.edu, (315) 736-3394 Ext. 105 ========================================= 4-H Public Presentations Saturday, March 21, 2020 9:00 am - 3:00 pm CCE Oneida Farm & Home Center (121 Second Street Oriskany, New York 13424) No other program in 4-H is more respected than 4-H Public Presentation Program.  Providing youth the opportunity to share thoughts and ideas is one of the key youth development opportunities that 4-H offers. That being said the fear of public speaking is listed as the number one fear that adults have. This fear can hinder both personal and professional opportunities.For this reason Oneida County 4-H recognizes the difficulties that Leaders have had in the past finding qualified evaluators for their club level programs. While we encourage Leaders to still provide this club level experience we are now going to provide the formal setting here at CCE. Participating youth may advance to the District and State events as they have in the past.Hint: Some of our best 4-H Presenters come from clubs where public speaking was mandatory. Leaders recognize the value of the program and require it. Don’t let your fears or the fears of others take away the valuable life skill that public speaking can bring to our 4-H youth. On the registration you will be asked to select a time for your presentation. We will do our best to honor your request. However, please understand that we rely upon volunteers to be evaluators and their time is valuable. You may be required to shift your time if there are large gaps in the schedule due to low participation. Presentations are scheduled approximately every 20 minutes.
