Who is ready for a trip to the farm?!? Gingerbread 4K is learning all about the farm! They enjoyed learning about different farm animals, but especially liked the cow! Olivia the Cow even came to visit our friends so they could learn how to milk her! #WatertownWay

✨Lincoln STEM celebrated World Kindness Day!✨ Last week, each classroom made a fleece tie blanket to donate to the Watertown Police Department to use as needed. Each grade level also wrote a thank you card to either the Watertown WI Police Department, Watertown Fire Department, or the Watertown Public Library. On Friday morning, students in the 2/3 classrooms walked to the police department to deliver the blankets and cards. Then, they walked to the Watertown Public Library to say "thank you" to the librarians, and their last stop was to visit the residents at Johnson Arms to spread some kindness to them. The Lincoln STEM students loved this service project and loved spreading kindness at school and throughout the community! 💞 A BIG shout-out to Jo-Ann Fabrics for donating the blanket materials so we could spread some kindness in the community!! #WatertownWay #WorldKindnessDay

On Veterans Day, Mrs. Beine’s music students at Lincoln and Schurz were able to zoom with a United States Veteran to share their thanks for his service. Gunnery Sergeant Lawrence Hollister is a retired Marine Veteran who served for 20 years. Part of his time with the Marines was spent serving in the Marine Band. In addition to sharing their thanks, students were also able to ask Gunnery Sergeant Hollister what it is like to be a musician in the Marine Band. Gunnery Sergeant Hollister encouraged our young musicians to work hard and persevere through the challenges of learning to play an instrument. #WatertownWay

✨Mirror mirror on the wall, there’s a leader in us all! Congratulations to these Schurz Tiger leaders!✨

This proud sixth grade #WatertownWay eCampus student, who works with Ms. DeBoth, is super excited about his completed book project! 😁 Way to go! We are so proud of you!

This Veterans Day we would like to honor all of the brave men and women who have served our country. Thank you! #WatertownWay

Ms. Chapman’s kindergarten authors and illustrators at Douglas were super proud to share their wordless picture books…just like the authors and illustrators they learned about during their read alouds last week! These creative writers had LOTS to share about their characters and stories! Engaging learning experiences are the #WatertownWay! 🤩

Miss Getlin’s 2/3 class read the book - A Piñata Fiesta. Students were so excited to read about how to make a piñata, that it inspired them want to make one of their own. They followed the steps they read about in the book and created a class piñata. How fun!

#WatertownWay 4K students at Gingerbread Preschool had fun dressing up in costumes, too!

As an extension of the 2/3 Multi-age Project Lead the Way Module at Lincoln STEM, members of the Dodge and Jefferson County Beekeepers Association came in to share their knowledge of honeybees. 🐝 Our #WatertownWay students participated in fun hands-on activities, which included making antennae, using a proboscis to collect nectar and pollen from flowers, and making wax candles. It was truly the bee's knees!! 🤩

We have the cutest #WatertownWay pumpkins in the patch! 😍 Mrs. Rousseau's 4K class had a lot of fun picking pumpkins at the Schurz Pumpkin Patch.
