We didn’t have school on Friday so I can’t say that we prepped for our water festival, but I can say that we went to The Topeka Water Festival on Thursday. We went there to teach some fourth and fifth graders about why plastic and paper bags are bad. It was a lot of fun because the little kids got very engaged and really liked it. we taught almost 200 kids about this subject. we were there from 9:00 A.M. till 2:00 P.M.
I was kind of nervous at the start of the water fest, but it got all better after the first group of youngsters. At first I thought it would be a little more serious but at once i saw that everyone there was here to have a good time and learn. Teaching the kids and seeing them get engaged made it all the more fun.
After the Water Fest I felt great because it was fun teaching the little kids and seeing them having a good time learning.
I don’t think that there was anything that I could have done better, and the only thing I would have done differently was to try and get them a little more engaged in the discussions .
my favorite part was watching them create their different designs for their bags, the way they had creativity to make different forms of saying that plastic bags are bad and you should recycle. The worst part was having to leave.
