Morah Mindy's Kindergarteners are so excited for their pen pals to receive their next letters! The children made frogs in honor of the Makkah of Tzefardeah (plauge of frogs) to wish their pen pals a "Hoppy Pesach!" We're sure the grandparents, aunts, uncles and special family members who receive these letters will be very "hoppy" with their surprise!

Our first grade girls are on the hunt! For what? For Hebrew vowels (nekudos) of course! The girls tested their knowledge by searching for nekudos hidden in words around the room!

Mrs. Carter's second grade boys are flexing their non-fiction writing skills by writing reports on animals. After conducting research on their favorite animals, the boys have constructed informational reports about the animals' habitats, food sources and characteristics and are in the process of drawing pictures and writing their final drafts. With topics ranging from cheetahs and falcons to ducks and ants, their reports are sure to be a fascinating read!

We're less than two weeks away from the conclusion of this year's amazing Mishna Madness program! In the last few weeks we've gone from 16 finalists to four and have learned a staggering 40,901 Mishnayos! The learning takes place at home on their own time, which means that our middle school boys are learning an incredible amount of Torah and are stretching their skills to greater and greater heights. We can't wait to see who makes it into the Final Four and we especially can't wait for the Final Four event at the Atlanta Scholars Kollel on March 25th !

Last Friday, TDSA's lower school students were visited by the NED Show. The students were super excited to learn all about growth mindset the NED way: Never giving up, Encouraging others, and Doing your best! Along with important lessons in social and emotional learning the students were treating to jokes, funny stories and fascinating Yo-Yo tricks! The students had a blast and certainly learned a lot about themselves, and how resilient they can be!

Last week our fourth grade boys had an out-of-this-world experience. They were visited by the Star Lab from the Chattahoochee Nature Center. After a fascinating outdoor presentation about our planet and solar system the boys were treated to a trip through the stars! The Star Lab set up an inflatable indoor planetarium and the boys were able to see the solar system up close! It felt like touching the night sky in the middle of the day! It was an amazing experience our students won't soon forget!
