Monthly Live Webinars for K-4 Classrooms

Farm Sanctuary’s humane educators are excited to offer monthly 30-minute virtual webinar-style presentations for K-4 classrooms, which will take place throughout the 2023-24 school year!

If you’ve previously participated in our Turkey Tales, Valentine’s Day, or Earth Day webinars, you’ll be happy to know that those presentations and several more are all included in the schedule below so you can plan ahead.

Humane educators will offer each 30-minute webinar twice daily:

10 a.m. ET / 9 a.m. CT / 7 a.m. PT
1 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. CT / 10 a.m. PT

Be sure to register for every presentation you plan to attend and at the time that works best for your classroom, making note of the time zones.

These webinar-style presentations were created with Grades K-4 in mind, but teachers of any grade level are welcome to register as well as parents/guardians of homeschool students.
