3rd year #WatertownWay German students watched a video of Hansel & Gretel in German and learned how a phrase from a fairy tale worked its way into the cultural background knowledge of gingerbread houses in Germany. They then read an article using this language as it gave advice on how to build gingerbread houses. Finally, they built their own! There were some construction accidents, but everyone persevered and got their house built!
Our #WatertownWay Student Leadership Team at Lincoln STEM organized a Food Drive as a community service project. They challenged students and staff to collect 1,000 items. They concluded the Food Drive this past Thursday and surpassed their goal! Our incredible Watertown Fire Department took the items to the Watertown Food Pantry this past Friday.

#WatertownWay WHS students in 3rd year German learned how to make classic German Christmas cookies - Zimtsterne (cinnamon stars). They compared the process of making German cookies to the processes theyāre familiar with and evaluated what is important about baking in each culture. They will go on to analyze the structure and language of German recipes before writing their own recipe in German.
