Mrs. Tew builds her 2nd graders knowledge of Chinese & Irish immigration by reading a story & learning rich content related vocab! Their new knowledge allowed them to expertly engage in a class discussion of push & pull immigration factors! Did we mention this is 2nd grade? 🤩

Our #KnowledgeMatters School Tour has arrived in @wcpsmd in @MdPublicSchools. Getting to observe 5th graders engaged in a discussion of Ruby Bridges was the perfect way to launch this tour. Students focused on gaining knowledge to answer this ❓: How did Ruby make history?

👏Your 2024 WCPS Teacher of the Year is RAYMOND WEBER! He has dedicated his 13-year teaching career @Salemave, where he teaches 5th grade. He is an excellent representative for all of our WCPS teachers. We wish him the best as he will now be considered for Maryland’s top teacher!
