Fun! Fun! Fun! At the Farm!
What could be more fun than teaching Preschoolers thru 5th Graders all about science, outdoors on the farm? This is not just farm science. All lessons follow the state standards for each grade level. The lessons are taught in a very fun, exciting and engaging way. All the lessons taught, you yourself have learned in grammar school. There are indeed a few lessons taught with animals and there are baby animals a plenty. You will not be asked to work with the animals unless you have a desire to do so. We try to match you with outdoor or science activities that you are passionate about. Enthusiasm is contagious. With a couple of training days under your belt you will be ready to go.
We start on March 27th and run through May 2nd on weekdays only. Hours are roughly 9:00am - 1:30 each weekday. We prefer those with paid experience working with and teaching children. If not people with experience and comfort speaking to large groups of children and grown-ups alike are desired. If you have a good sense of humor, even better. The farm is owned and operated by a Sacramento area elementary school teacher. This is our 21st year teaching children.
This is a fun position for retired people with teaching backgrounds, students from local colleges and over all outgoing fun people. People with a drama background that like to perform are encouraged as the classes taught are very fun and engaging for the students. If you are crafty even better as in many of the lessons, the students make something and take it home with them.
You have to be able to work all of the days mentioned as we do not have extra employees.
Due to the nature of the business with so many school kids we are required to run your name through the Megan's law sex offender data base before hiring.
If you have a desire to make an impact with children you will enjoy this position.
