#WatertownWay students at Douglas packed their brains full of knowledge while preparing for the Who Was History Bee! All of the questions come straight from this popular book series, and the students are excited to read, learn, and compete with their classmates!
Happy New Year from our #WatertownWay team!
A #WatertownWay shout out to our Douglas Student Ambassadors who got together with Mrs. Lessner and Miss Ganser to put together the Top 5 Snow Rules to Remember. Here’s a sneak peek at their catchy phrasing: Snow is not to throw!...Assemble, don't Disassemble...and Eating snow is a No-Go!
There is nothing better than a #WatertownWay Book Club! These 3rd Grade readers prepared for their nonfiction book clubs with questions and interesting facts they had learned to share with their group. Something they work REALLY hard on is building on each other's ideas - using sentence stems like "I agree with _____, because..."! Way to go!
Our smiley #WatertownWay Douglas Tiger teammates are hoping you all are having a wonderful break!
Happy Holidays from our #WatertownWay family to yours!

These #WatertownWay Douglas 3rd graders shared their thinking through a strategy called "Turn and Talk Squared". First, they share their thinking with a partner, and then each partnership shares with another pair! Their brains are hard at work - listening, speaking, and thinking!
Do banana phones take anyone back to the good old days? These #WatertownWay 5th grade Douglas Tigers are having fun with their friends (and food) at lunch!

On Monday, Douglas 5th graders met for their weekly “Monday Fun Day” joint morning meeting. This weeks team building activity was to make the tallest tower they could using only toothpicks and gumdrops. Building classroom communities is the #WatertownWay!
If you have heard some peaceful strumming coming from Douglas Elementary, then it must be the #WatertownWay fifth grade music class students! Mr. Roley is teaching them how to play the ukulele. Exploring new instruments is so much fun!
To "cap" off Bullying Prevention Month, staff and students flipped their focus - watching for Upstander actions! When a kind or helpful action was noticed, students and staff wrote a shout-out with a challenge to reach their 500 Shout-Out goal! Within 7 school days, our #WatertownWay Douglas Tigers exceeded their goal and celebrated with hat day! Check out these UPSTANDERS making their school community great!
Honoring our veterans - today and always.
