WUSD Summer School

A big thank you to our WHS musicians for sharing your talents with us this holiday season!

There's been a lot of excitement in Mr. Stocks's room at LEAP as the 4th and 5th graders have been working very hard on a variety of science projects. Students were able to pick the subject of their science projects, which added to the fun. Some of the subjects chosen were paleontology, astrology, volcanoes, and archeology! Excellent job, 4th and 5th graders! 👏 #WatertownWay

Upper-level German students baked “Zimtsterne” (Cinnamon Stars) as part of a unit on learning to read and write recipes. They discovered firsthand some of the differences between “cookie cultures” in Germany and the United States! YUM!

Congratulations to the WHS Philharmonia and Concert Orchestras and the Symphonic and Concert Bands on their outstanding Instrumental Winter Concert! Special thanks to directors Mrs. Hafenstein, Mr. Martin and Mr. LaDew. It was a great concert and a great way to celebrate the holiday season! ✨ #WatertownWay

Have you ever seen gingerbread houses with a math twist?! Mrs. Weinheimer's 2/3 class at Lincoln STEM created gingerbread houses that show different arrays of candies. Then, they wrote and solved multiplication problems to find the total number of candies on each side. These mathematicians even took it one step further and identified the repeated addition sentence that goes with each multiplication fact. Our #WatertownWay students sure are stretching their brains while having fun! 🤩🤩

🥳 CONGRATULATIONS to our #WatertownWay Trimester 1 Honor Roll students at WHS and Endeavor Charter School! ⭐️Watertown High School: https://docs.google.com/.../1iYvc.../edit... *This document contains two tabs. ⭐️Endeavor Charter School: https://docs.google.com/.../1Cn3lkl5NOhs26nofyNu7.../edit...

🎶❤️ Music is good for the #WatertownWay soul. ❤️🎶 WUSD elementary music classes have been studying composer Pytor Tchaikovsky this month. Mrs. Beine’s 2/3 classes at Lincoln STEM had fun doing a bucket drumming activity to Tchaikovsky's “Trepak” with student teacher, Mr. Schaffrick. 🥁

The Douglas Student Council planned a spirit week to spread holiday cheer at school! Check out these Douglas Tigers who are "Dreaming of a White Christmas" in their PJs! ❄️

🎁🎄 December 17th was LEAP's annual Holiday Store where each of the kids shopped for gifts for their families. It is always a special day that the students look forward to! We are so appreciative of our LEAP PTO for putting on this special event year after year! ❤

Mr. Held's 5th grade class at Webster Elementary enjoys their D.A.R.E time. 📣 A special shout out to Officer Stacy Schroeder for all she does for our #WatertownWay students and the D.A.R.E program.

Ladies and Gentlemen - Grab your popcorn 🍿 and turn up the volume 🔊 because we have a special performance coming your way! 🌟 WUSD elementary music students have been learning about Pytor Tchaikovsky, their composer of the month, by studying several pieces from the Nutcracker Ballet. We hope you enjoy this parachute performance to Tchaikovsky's "Trepak" presented by one of Mrs. Beine's second-grade classes! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmcDQIq4_IQ

Who is ready for a trip to the farm?!? Gingerbread 4K is learning all about the farm! They enjoyed learning about different farm animals, but especially liked the cow! Olivia the Cow even came to visit our friends so they could learn how to milk her! #WatertownWay

✨Lincoln STEM celebrated World Kindness Day!✨ Last week, each classroom made a fleece tie blanket to donate to the Watertown Police Department to use as needed. Each grade level also wrote a thank you card to either the Watertown WI Police Department, Watertown Fire Department, or the Watertown Public Library. On Friday morning, students in the 2/3 classrooms walked to the police department to deliver the blankets and cards. Then, they walked to the Watertown Public Library to say "thank you" to the librarians, and their last stop was to visit the residents at Johnson Arms to spread some kindness to them. The Lincoln STEM students loved this service project and loved spreading kindness at school and throughout the community! 💞 A BIG shout-out to Jo-Ann Fabrics for donating the blanket materials so we could spread some kindness in the community!! #WatertownWay #WorldKindnessDay

On Veterans Day, Mrs. Beine’s music students at Lincoln and Schurz were able to zoom with a United States Veteran to share their thanks for his service. Gunnery Sergeant Lawrence Hollister is a retired Marine Veteran who served for 20 years. Part of his time with the Marines was spent serving in the Marine Band. In addition to sharing their thanks, students were also able to ask Gunnery Sergeant Hollister what it is like to be a musician in the Marine Band. Gunnery Sergeant Hollister encouraged our young musicians to work hard and persevere through the challenges of learning to play an instrument. #WatertownWay

✨Mirror mirror on the wall, there’s a leader in us all! Congratulations to these Schurz Tiger leaders!✨

This proud sixth grade #WatertownWay eCampus student, who works with Ms. DeBoth, is super excited about his completed book project! 😁 Way to go! We are so proud of you!
