Kindergarten Roundup on green chalkboard with apple and crayon clip art image
Fall will be here before you know it and we want parents to be able to explore the possibility of sending their soon-to-be kindergarten student here to Washington Discovery Academy. WDA is a K-4 Project Based Learning school, which is part of the New Tech Network. New Tech Network is a national non-profit that works with more than 200 schools nationwide to create innovative learning environments. New Tech elementary schools employ the key design elements that make NTN schools successful: outcomes that matter, teaching that engages, a culture that empowers, and technology that enables. While not everyone has school choices available in their districts or communities, we are proud to offer Michiana parents the PBL option. Wondering how to decide if our school is right for your child and for you? Attend our annual upcoming Kindergarten Roundup event on March 15, 2018.

Presley Horvath, Washington Discovery Academy
“I like best thing about school is recess cuz like like we get to play with our friends.”
Elizabeth Holsopple, Washington Discovery Academy Kindergarten Teacher
“So audience, do you know what word we are trying to spell?”
Holsopple: “I’m Liz Holsopple I teach for Washington Discovery Academy kindergarten. Kindergarten is their first experience; it should be a positive one. That first year has to be a year where they build their love of learning and they want to come back to school for first grade.”
Courtney Young, Washington Discovery Academy Kindergarten Teacher
“Why was he going to eat the poison? Students say, “Because he couldn’t read.” Young: “Because he couldn’t read”.
Holsopple’s students: “T-h-i-s”
Holsopple: “Does that spell this?
Holsopple’s students: “Yes”
Holsopple: “Yes it does.” Now each time Sophia our bodies are going to get a little bit taller and a little bit taller for each letter and then we blast off when we say the word. So our eyes are on the word this - are you ready? T-H-I-S - this. Let’s do it again ready? T-H-I-S - this.
Holsopple: “My own two children go to Plymouth schools, and the reason I choose that for them is because they really do go above and beyond. They will do whatever it takes to help my kids succeed.”
Sophia Castro, Washington Discovery Academy
“When we get to have lunch cause we get to eat and I’m always hungry.”
