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!
These #WatertownWay second grade Schurz classmates filled up the front of their reading logs and earned their first bead for their reading necklaces! Grrreat job reading, Tigers!
Miss Anfang's 1st Grade #WatertownWay students put Mrs. Lessner in the hot seat during their morning meeting activity! Favorite food? Tacos! Any pets? A Dog and a snake! Any children? Yes! Two - a middle and high schooler! They asked all kinds of interesting questions to get to know their principal! Morning meetings are the best way to start the school day!

#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!

All of the Red Ribbon Week activities include ways to make healthy choices. This group of Wildcat Leaders will serve through the 1st quarter. What a great group of student leaders!
Our #WatertownWay Schurz 4K students enjoyed their books from the Library Media Center. How fun to take home a book to share with your family! These students also created "Itsy Bitsy Spiders" as part of their nursery rhyme unit. They cannot wait until next week when they can pick a new book!
