Jiminy Cricket's Environmentality Challenge
Attention 5th grade teachers! Sign up for Jiminy Cricket’s Environmentality Challenge now through December 15, 2006.
This is an environmental education program sponsored by The Walt Disney Company, the State of California's Environmental Education Interagency Network (CEEIN), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It encourages California fifth-graders to practice environmental stewardship in a fun and educational way while incorporating California state curriculum standards.
The teacher and students determine their degree of participation; students may take a pledge to do something that will help the environment and, if they choose, may enter the Class Project Competition, where they target a real-world environmental problem, then develop and implement an action plan to address it.
Each class submits a summary of their activities for judging by a panel of environmental educators. The Grand Prize Winning class and teacher are treated to an all expense paid trip where they are recognized during a special ceremony at the Disneyland Resort and given an opportunity to present their accomplishments to Disney and State dignitaries.
This year third and fourth grade students can also participate in the class pledge!
Visit the official Jiminy Cricket’s Environmentality Challenge Web site (www.jceckids.org) or call (800) 290-0299 for more information.
