Moving Beyond Take Home Educational Kits

When school returned to virtual and in person instruction Oldham County 4-H members were ready to get back to some form of traditional programming.  4-H members were ready to reconnect and striving for social interaction. 4-H Staff and Volunteers were not permitted to visit schools for in person instruction, all lessons were conducted virtually thru the school’s platform. 

The School Club Program involves in person and virtual learning classrooms. The first program offered was chick incubation with virtual instruction, video posts of candling and supplemental lessons were provided to the teacher and families in virtual situations. A link to the live streaming of the incubator was available on our website for teachers to access for their extended learning opportunities.  The incubator stream provided a visual representation of the egg development each day.

 Additional monthly lessons focused on Bees and Pollinators, Preserving Natural Resources, Electrical Circuits and Communication Skills. 4-H Members participated in the National Bee essay contest,, 120 members presented a speech with six Oldham 4-H members advancing to the State Communication Event.  There were 26 school clubs participating. The curriculum materials utilized originated from the materials shared by Ashley Osbourne during the Kentucky Farms Feed Me In-Service.
