Watertown High School students studying German as a foreign language recently learned about German holiday traditions, traditional German food, and had the fantastic opportunity to attend the Christkindlmarkt in Chicago! As part of these learning experiences, the students presented their research and wrote skits where they made plans to eat at a restaurant, order food, enjoy a friendly conversation, and pay the bill - all in German!
While at the Christkindlmarkt, the students sampled German food and purchased small handcrafted gifts. Enjoy these photos of the German student at the Christkindlmarkt, acting out their skits, and showcasing their traditional gingerbread cookies.
Watertown High School will host Freshman Preview Night for all current area 8th graders on Thursday, Jan. 16. This event is an excellent way to learn more about the high school and its many academic and extracurricular offerings. No need to pre-register, just attend!
