La Festival del Agua los ninos El aqua conecta todos ya todo el mundo (Spanish)

September 30th, 2015

Introduction The 18th annual Metro Children’s Water Festival, held on September 30th, 2015, at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds, is designed to provide students with hands-on opportunities to learn about such things as where water goes when the toilet gets flushed, how tiny bugs can serve as an indicator of water quality, the importance of wetlands, and basic water science. More than 1,200 fourth grade students from each of the seven Metropolitan counties will be in attendance to celebrate our most precious resource - water. This booklet has been printed to assist educators in contacting key people associated with the Festival. Included in the packet are the schedule of events, a brief description of each learning station, the agency hosting the learning station, and an educator’s evaluation form. Please note: a photo of your class at the Festival will be shared with you upon receipt of your evaluation! A Word of Acknowledgement
