 |
|
The event is open to 4th grade students and their teachers in public and private schools. Application period for this year's festival is over. Flyers are mailed to teachers calling for festival application. Class selection is made one month prior to the event. Click here for the Festival Schedule.
Teachers must attend a Teacher Workshop to be prepared for the Festival and learn about our evaluation process. Workshops are held approximately three weeks before the festival. Each teacher receives a Resource Kit that contains information and other materials to continue water education in the classroom. Please tell us what items are most useful to you!
All activities address multiple New Mexico Science Standards for the fourth grade. |
Our Goals for Teachers … continue water education in the classroom using the resources and concepts learned at the Teacher Workshop and Festival. … utilize new resources and speakers, adopt expanded curricula and modify teaching methods. … take action to conserve water and protect water quality. Our Goals for Students … demonstrate that they can answer the Six Big Water Questions. … take action to conserve water and protect water quality. … urge their families and friends to take action to conserve water and protect water quality.
Classroom Visits are a critical component of the evaluation process. The more classes we visit, the more accurate we are in determining the extent to which our goals are met. Please
sign up at the Teacher Workshop, or contact
us to schedule this post-festival visit! |
