Introducing Miss Getlin’s Best Book Award Winners!
These #WatertownWay LEAP Leopards just wrapped up their opinion writing unit. Their final piece was to write about the best book ever and convince our judge (Mrs. Parys) that it really is the best book ever. It was a TOUGH choice because all students wrote very convincing pieces with strong reasoning.
Our runners up were Asher and Marcel and our first place winner was Teagan. Their final pieces are hanging up proudly in the hallway for all to see.

#WatertownWay LEAP students participated in Global School Play Day yesterday morning. The goal of Global School Play Day is to bring awareness to the decline of play in our culture and to educate on the benefits and necessity of it. We spent the first 20-60 minutes of school enjoying unstructured play. The only rules are no screens/technology and teachers can't interfere unless there is a safety issue. It was very fun to watch what the kids came up with during this fun play time!
