'So we have all this antipathy to science in so many parts of the country and in reading you have all these people who are saying – we want to know more. And that's great.' - Mark Seidenberg

There’s nothing like some newly hatched chicks to round out our school wide unit on life cycles. The children are all so excited about these babies and it’s a joy to witness— every time! #OriginsAcademy

I’m still reading Jonathan Haidt’s new book but this piece resonates with me as a proponent of play and outdoor-based learning environments for children!

Thankfully the value and need for play has more readily been present in the #earlyyears ! Something we do well at #Origins and #TheWoods !

I developed and opened my school, #OriginsAcademy so that elementary students could continue to learn through play. Our students are thriving developmentally, socially and academically. I’m pleased to see more accessible texts on the value— the NEED— for #play !

Our youngest learners have so enjoyed learning about the #Eclipse and they can’t wait for Monday! This event has been a terrific opportunity for both language and knowledge building across our entire school.

Year to date we've processed development permits worth $45.9 million!

Take a look at March's high value projects:
➡️$2.9M HVAC retrofit for the Imperial Theatre
➡️$2.9M for an outdoor education centre
➡️$1.2M for construction of 8 row houses
➡️$1.9M for airplane hanger addition

Such a great episode! Yes, it is possible! #OriginsAcademy #StructuredLiteracy

‘Laughter’ and ‘daughter’ *should* rhyme…right?

An ‘eye rhyme’ is an imperfect rhyme in which two words are spelled similarly but pronounced differently.

wind/bind
cove/dove
come/home
symmetry/sky
gone/alone

I’m listening now!
