Cherokee County 4-H loves to partner with Cherokee County teachers and schools to bring 4-H School Enrichment programs to the classroom. 4-H School Enrichment is a sequence of learning experiences for groups of youth, in cooperation with school officials during school hours to support the school curriculum. We have many 4-H school enrichment programs that we can offer local teachers to enhance their classroom learning opportunities in the true 4-H hands-on “learn by doing”  approach.

We provide materials and lessons for the classroom teachers. We train the teachers to use the curriculum so they can provide lessons to their students without a 4-H volunteer in their classrooms. We also have 4-H volunteers that go into the classrooms and provide 7-9 week programs to the classrooms, like our 1st grade bee curriculum.
Here are some of our 4-H curriculum resources that Cherokee County 4-H has provided to our classrooms so far this year including some that are currently being done in the classrooms.

  • science,

  • civic engagement

into lesson plans and STEM units that feature hands-on, experiential learning and an interdisciplinary approach to real-world problems for elementary, middle, and high school-aged youth. All of our materials:

  • Are designed by content area experts from North Carolina State University and North Carolina A&T State University, as well as, National 4-H
  • Undergo a rigorous vetting process, including field tests and revisions
  • Are aligned to North Carolina and National K-12 educational standards

Currently we have eight classrooms across three elementary schools participating in the “Hatching Classroom Projects” in their 2nd grade classrooms. We also have 4 classrooms participating in the 2nd grade “Winged Wonders” curriculum. And we have 5 classrooms participating in the 1st grade “The Busy World of Bees.”
