On Wednesday, #WatertownWay 6th grade Dual Language Social Studies students at RMS had the fortunate opportunity to learn more about Egypt (ancient and modern) from a native Egyptian! WHS foreign exchange student Lojin Elkassas shared many interesting facts about her native country, and even taught the students some words in Egyptian Arabic! She also left the students a parting gift of a bookmark that included English letter equivalents of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. Thank you Lojin!

This one is taking it back in time! #WatertownWay RMS 6th graders recently finished a unit about the Roaring 20’s. They researched famous people from the 1920’s and 1930’s and then came to a mock speakeasy dressed as that person. They had something to eat and drink, told the class a little about themselves, listened to some jazz music and watched a Charlie Chaplin film!
#WatertownWay 8th grade students worked in groups as they created literacy dominoes of their section of The Crossover to ultimately observe the narrative arc - a story's full progression!
These #WatertownWay 7th grade science students built their own weather tools to try to predict the weather! 🌦️
#WatertownWay students in Eric Kleine's 6th grade Dual Language Social Studies class at RMS explored "La Tumba del Faraón Desconocido" (The Tomb of the Unknown Pharaoh). Over the past three days, students learned about Egyptian Hieroglyphics and the letters they represent in the Latin alphabet. Each pair of students then wrote two sentences about one aspect of this Unknown Pharaoh's life and posted it on the wall. The students entered the "Tomb" just like egyptologists would - with only flashlights to guide their way - and translated the hieroglyphs into Spanish, which was not an easy task given that the writings sometimes read left to right, right to left, or up and down. They then wrote a field report to an Egyptian newspaper that included his name and details about the Pharaoh's life. What an awesome learning experience!
It's National School Bus Safety Week! The WUSD would like to thank all of our #WatertownWay bus drivers and support staff for all that they do to safely transport our students and staff! We appreciate you!
