I am consistently so impressed by the @WestgateElem staff! This year, teachers participated in PDSA cycles in the areas of literacy, math, equity, and wellness. Today we had a share fair to celebrate all of our learning and hard work this year.

Lots of action in the @WestgateElem Makerspace this week! We explored force and motion, made leprechaun traps, learned about the effects of temperature on water, and dabbled with Ozobots. #STEAM#FCPSAAP

Ms. Hughes and I had a blast exploring our new Lego Robotics kits today! Canโt wait for students to start building. #WestgateAAP#YoungScholars@WestgateElem
The level of creativity and critical thinking these 6th graders showed through their Space Resort projects was out of this world! ๐๐ช #PBLinFCPS@WestgateElem

So grateful to be part of an amazing day of learning with educators committed to leading an equitable district. #FCPSequityreimagined
I am so thankful to have spent the day learning alongside FCPS educators, hearing the voices of parents, students, and staff. โ[Conversations about equity] arenโt controversial, theyโre just relevant.โ -Shanthi Ashok #FCPSEquityReimagined
