Watershed takes seriously our charge to instill a deep understanding of interconnectedness and stewardship among our students and school community. Bigotry, hate and brutality oppose our values and tear us apart,… instagram.com/p/CBBv_YtpUMA/…

Glad to celebrate #ReadAcrossAmerica Month and encourage strong environmental stewardship at Watershed Public Charter School. Outside their school’s chicken coop, we read “We Planted a Tree.” Thanks for having me!

K learned how our chicks will use their egg tooth to make a pip in the shell when they start to hatch. We then practiced hatching from our own eggs and exploring the new world with our chicken senses! #PeepPeep #LetThemPlay #SleepyChicks @knortonsmith @WatershedPCS

Last week we visited @WatershedPCS and gave each student their own copy of The Berenstain Bears' Trouble with Money Book! We had so much fun meeting the students and reading with them. It was a perfect rainy day for a good book! #financialliteracy

Kindergarten is learning about being healthy this week. We started with a hand washing lesson from our amazing nurse Ms. Alice! Then we began our bread experiment to see the best way to get rid of germs! #HandsOnLearning #ButPleaseWashThemFirst @WatershedPCS
