@kaneemi_fourth @KeithAllshouse Look at the STUDENTS' investigations!!! Great job giving the students ownership!! @ArgumentDriven @wcpsmd

Students displaying all of their creative ideas to determine how water moves from the roots to the leaves of a plant! We are so excited to see their results. @KeithAllshouse @EllistarTara

@Salemave @ArgumentDriven @wcpsmd Salem Grade 4 teachers are rock stars!!! Wait until you see what their students can do!!!

The Salem staff was SO engaged in the ADI process today in a PD session led by our 4th grade team. Teams used this experience to adjust/enhance their SIP science goals! #1323buildingsciencecapacity @ArgumentDriven @EllistarTara @wcpsmd

WCPS Grade 5 teachers are getting ready to pick up where Grade 4 teachers left off - sticking to ADI bc our students deserve access to authentic science instruction!!!! @wcpsmd @ArgumentDriven
