#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!

#WatertownWay students in Miss Steuerwald's class learned about Braille and the White Cane law. Students crafted pens to resemble white canes. When they write with their new pens, they will be reminded of the importance of White Canes for people with vision impairments. Students enjoyed cookies with a picture of a white cane on them, while working on their Braille code projects. After reading the book, "White Cane Day", the students generated a list of ideas on how to spread the message about this important holiday!
