These Douglas Tigers were reading in hoods on Tuesday with their partner classroom for Read Across Douglas - in celebration of Read Across America Week! Reading is fun with your friends!
Today Mrs. Wolf’s class had the privilege to have Mayor McFarland join them!
These Schurz Tigers were tasked to write persuasive speeches to help change the world around us. The class chose to focus on our community of Watertown and the topic of littering.
Using their writing unit skills, they began their research of Watertown, the Rock River, littering, our mayor and did a student class survey that identified that littering occurs most often when individuals toss items outside of their car windows.
Mrs. Wolf's class all wrote Mayor McFarland letters for their final persuasive essay to persuade the mayor to help create awareness around littering in our community.
Mayor McFarland surprised them today with a special visit, fliers that she made for Schurz School to participate in a fun clean-up bingo activity and to encourage our community to help clean up the Rock River this year.
Check out Mayor McFarland's Weekly Roundup tomorrow as she reports out on her visit with Mrs. Wolf's class! 👇

Students from Eric Kleine's Spanish Texts and Composition class at Watertown High School traveled to Schurz Elementary School on Thursday to read to Gayle Ebert's Dual Language Kindergarten class. The WHS students wrote their own children's stories as a final project for their Children's Literacy Unit in which they learned about the importance of reading to young children, the effects reading has on the brain development of a child, elements and structure of children's stories, and a study of the famous book "The Little Prince" (El Principito).
