Our #WatertownWay third graders at Douglas Elementary are learning all about weather and climate. They had a special visitor, Drew Burgoyne of CBS 58, present today all about severe weather and safety. Thank you for inspiring future meteorologists today, Mr. Burgoyne!
Mrs. Godfroy's first grade class recently finished up their nonfiction writing unit and celebrated by getting to share their writing pieces with their 4K friends! The room was set up like a museum and our #WatertownWay 4K students could stop by the writing topics that they were most interested in hearing about. It was an awesome experience that provided the opportunity for Mrs. Godfroy's first graders to be great role models and teachers to our youngest learners. Way to go, Schurz Tigers!
These #WatertownWay sixth grade RMS Panthers recently built a maze in Mrs. LaDew's media center, sharpened their science skills with Mrs. Travis and shared in read-aloud time with Mrs. Fremont! #adayinthelife

Today Mrs. Wolf’s class had the privilege to have Mayor McFarland join them!
These Schurz Tigers were tasked to write persuasive speeches to help change the world around us. The class chose to focus on our community of Watertown and the topic of littering.
Using their writing unit skills, they began their research of Watertown, the Rock River, littering, our mayor and did a student class survey that identified that littering occurs most often when individuals toss items outside of their car windows.
Mrs. Wolf's class all wrote Mayor McFarland letters for their final persuasive essay to persuade the mayor to help create awareness around littering in our community.
Mayor McFarland surprised them today with a special visit, fliers that she made for Schurz School to participate in a fun clean-up bingo activity and to encourage our community to help clean up the Rock River this year.
Check out Mayor McFarland's Weekly Roundup tomorrow as she reports out on her visit with Mrs. Wolf's class! 👇
