Ms. Chapman’s kindergarten authors and illustrators at Douglas were super proud to share their wordless picture books…just like the authors and illustrators they learned about during their read alouds last week!
These creative writers had LOTS to share about their characters and stories! Engaging learning experiences are the #WatertownWay! 🤩
Miss Getlin’s 2/3 class read the book - A Piñata Fiesta. Students were so excited to read about how to make a piñata, that it inspired them want to make one of their own. They followed the steps they read about in the book and created a class piñata. How fun!
Take a look at these young #WatertownWay authors! ✏️ 2/3 students at Lincoln STEM wrapped up their personal narrative writing unit this week. They participated in writing celebrations to share their work with their classmates.
You can see the pride beaming from their faces! 🤩
#WatertownWay 4K students at Gingerbread Preschool had fun dressing up in costumes, too!
As an extension of the 2/3 Multi-age Project Lead the Way Module at Lincoln STEM, members of the Dodge and Jefferson County Beekeepers Association came in to share their knowledge of honeybees. 🐝
Our #WatertownWay students participated in fun hands-on activities, which included making antennae, using a proboscis to collect nectar and pollen from flowers, and making wax candles.
It was truly the bee's knees!! 🤩
Check out the 5th grade students who applied and were accepted to be a part of Lincoln STEM’s Student Leadership Team!
The Student Leadership Team is a group of students who are committed to being responsible, respectful, and resilient leaders in our school and will be finding ways to better our school and community.
We couldn't be more proud of these #WatertownWay students and are excited to see all they accomplish this year! 💙💛
Last Friday was the second day of the National FFA Convention. The day's Opening Ceremonies started with key note speaker, Courtenay Dehoff, who talked about striving for great things and adapting when plans change. After that, students were able to explore the agriscience fair posters and Hall of States, learning about agriculture around the country.
Then, students attended the second general session where #WatertownWay's very own Brandon Boyd and Ethan Johnson took 2nd place overall in their division for the Agriscience Fair! 🥈
It was a very exciting day and a great achievement for the Watertown FFA!

Last Thursday, one of the 3rd grade music classes at Schurz Elementary School was fortunate to have a virtual Q&A time with Staff Sergeant William Samson! Tuba player Staff Sergeant Samson is a member of "The President's Own" United States Marine Band.
Prior to the meeting, students learned about “The President’s Own” and watched various concert excerpts. The students were then able to ask Staff Sergeant Samson questions about what it is like to be a musician whose job is to play for White House events.
Staff Sergeant Samson even made a deal with the students. If they send him a recording of “Hot Cross Buns” once they learn to play it on their recorders, he will send a recording of him playing “Hot Cross Buns” on his tuba in return.
Staff Sergeant Samson encouraged our young musicians to work hard and persevere through the challenges of learning to play an instrument.
A special "Thank You!" to Staff Sergeant Samson for providing our students this amazing experience! 💙💛
