Resources for Learning on CD is coming soon. Project Food, Land & People is releasing a version of Resources for Learning on CD format. Lessons will be searchable by grade level and topic. The CD should be available in early 2005. Order your CD now.

The second edition of Resources for Learning has been well received across the country. Here in California many of FLP's Resources for Learning lessons are cited in the California Curriculum Guidelines for Agricultural Literacy Awareness. These guidelines can be found on the cfaitc.org website.

Also, we're very pleased that FLP's Resources for Learning is cited several times in the California Department of Education's new publication, "A Child's Garden of Standards" for grades 2-6.

Please email us with any questions or comments.
