The students in the second grade had a great time in Shop class creating and decorating their own menorahs. The students were able to flex their creative muscles using complex machinery while guided by the experienced Rabbi Rubin to construct menorahs out of metal and decorated them with cement and mosaics.

Our first grade students constructed working dreidels from CDs, golf tees, and a marbles in STEAM, utilizing their creativity, ingenuity and engineering skills.

Future TDSA students and their families joined TDSA staff and current students for a fun filled morning of Chanukah activities where they got to know all about our Kindergarten program and core curriculum as well as meet our teachers and administrators.

Our 8th Grade students demonstrated their understanding of the different phases of matter by using dry ice and water to create rolling clouds of vapor using the chemical process of sublimation.

In Ivrit, the Middle School Girls learned all about the life of Israeli Prime Minister, David Ben Gurion. They worked together to construct a timeline of his life and learned fun triva about him.

Anyone who has roamed our halls notices the beautiful art popping off the walls. The finished products color the school and delight the student and teachers alike. Some people wonder how the creative process unfold in the depths of the art room? I had a chance to see the students' artistic creations at different stages when I visited the seventh grade girls making the figurines out of bottles, papier-mache, and paint. The girls pictured above were having a blast forming their creation. Others were seriously concentrating. All were enjoying the process. And I know they will be proud when the finished products are displayed on our windowsills.

Reading fluency or Card Game?!?! At first glance, I could not tell what was going on with this group of 2nd grade boys having so much fun during Language Arts class. One screamed out a word that they read from a card in their hand while the others frantically looked for the same word in their own hand. Turns out it was a phonics activity. It's amazing that their literacy learning included so many laughs!

I walked into the library while second grade girls were giggling and playing with clay. They told me they were doing an activity from the book they just read: "The Busy Life of Ernestine Buckmeister". You see, Ernestine participates in way too many afterschool activities; it is exhausting. One of them was sculpture making. As an extension activity, these girls were forming all kinds of art from the clay: smiley faces, animals, structures, etc. It was fun to see how excited they were about the book and about mimicking the main character.

Team-building, ingenuity, and fun took center stage at today's Middle School Advisory for both boys and girls. It was amazing seeing students play games and participate in challenges that required creative thinking and working together. The boys here were asked to make a car that propels using a set of household materials and no instructions. It was great to see the engineering and bonding required as they attempted to be successful.
