6th Grade #WISArrows had finished up their Taj Mahal artwork. Students learned the history behind the Taj Mahal. They also learned that it shows perfect symmetry, except for a room that was added later. Symmetry means the same on both sides. Students showed perfect symmetry on their own design of the Taj Mahal by using carbon copying. With carbon copying, we only had to draw half of the Taj Mahal and we folded the paper and pressed the pencil lead onto the other side to make a symmetrical copy. Lastly, students used mosaic tiles to create a symmetrical background.
WIS Family - Anything scheduled in our building next week for students, community, or use of our facilities are canceled. This includes the choir club concert and any other practices, etc.
From the Watertown School District: Following the Governor’s recommendation to close schools for students the week of March 16-20, the Watertown School District will be closed. All facilities will be off-limits to students and the public beginning at 6:00 PM tonight until Monday, March 23rd. This will include practices as well as school activities and outside use of our facilities. Conditions will continue to be evaluated during this week in the event there would need to be a need for further closure to students and the public.
From the Watertown School District: It has come to our attention that a phony Facebook page is stating there is no school. That is false. There will be school in Watertown on Friday, March 13. Please watch for further updates from this account or the school webpage.

#WISArrows 5th grade just finished up their one-point perspective aquariums in art. They learned that one-point perspective means the artwork only has one vanishing point. A vanishing point is where the parallel lines of a realistic area converge on the page to show depth.
