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!

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 they’re 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.

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!
