Congratulations to Westlawn’s Kindergarten Team! The Washington Post featured Carol Hunt’s class and the instruction that the kindergarten team is doing to integrate Mathematics and the Arts. This work is in partnership with Wolf Trap for the Performing Arts. Westlawn is one of 23 schools in FCPS involved in the program. The arts integration program was funded through a major grant from the U.S. Department of Education.
