Douglas Elementary School

Our #WatertownWay Summer School Snack Time students have been off to a busy start! So far they have made homemade strawberry jam, veggie pinwheels, baked donuts, smoothies, Rice Krispie treats, July 4th pretzel rods, and more! Yum!

These Book Club Fanatics have been exploring nonfiction texts. Yesterday they learned all about chickens, and were able to take their learning outside to observe the chickens at WHS! The students worked hard on reporting facts and drawing diagrams. They also learned that there are eight times as many chickens as humans on Earth, and that chickens are the closest thing we have to dinosaurs!

The next Feeding America event will be held at WHS this Friday, July 1 beginning at 11:00 a.m. For more information, please visit https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1IjDT2wPZl4BOpkkD5PXnRWzvnI6NQNAjCNZotuZJoK4/edit#slide=id.p.
