Mrs. Peters’ #WatertownWay 4K class at Webster Elementary had a special tailgate snack last week as they celebrated the opening of Major League Baseball for the season! They have been reading the book Goodnight Baseball by Michael Dahl. Students were handed tickets to match an uppercase letter to a lowercase letter to find their seat - just like they would at a baseball game! They sampled hotdogs, ketchup, mustard, relish, cracker jacks, root beer, and ice cream from Mullen’s! While sampling, the children reported on a sheet whether they thought the food was ‘yummy’ or ‘yucky.’ They completed their tailgate by watching a sausage race and singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.”
Congratulations to these #WatertownWay Schurz Elementary teammates for being recognized by colleagues for a job well done! 🙌
