The Haliburton-Muskoka-Kawartha Children's Water Festival brings together the expertise of educators, water quality and quantity specialists, community volunteers, conservation groups, industry and government to provide Haliburton's elementary students with the opportunity to discover the importance and diversity of water.
Two of the primary objectives of this holistic-focused event are to develop personal awareness of the importance of water, and to foster respect for the natural environment. It is hoped that by increasing awareness and respect, as individuals we will make a commitment to use natural resources wisely.
The Teacher's Planning Guide is designed:
to help you organize your day
to suggest ways to prepare your students so they not only have fun, but get the most learning possible from the day
to explain how the Festival activities meet the requirements of the Ontario Curriculum at each grade level
