					<description><![CDATA[This week Kitah K took advantage of the beautiful weather and walked over to Toco Hill Kroger on a Fruit finding mission. As part of the class's unit on brachos the students explored the Krogers fruit section for the bracha of Ha'etz. Kitah K heard all about where the fruit at Kroger comes from, which fruit are the best sellers, and what it's like to work at Kroger. They then got to pick out and buy their own Ha'etz fruit! Yum!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mrs. Bram's 5th grade students are experiencing what it was like to live under colonial rule in pre-revolutionary war America.  For the last few weeks they've been taking part in a fascinating classroom experiment, where the students are the colonists who need to respond to the actions of the British Government. Mrs. Bram pays the students once a week, but also collects "taxes" around the classroom that stand in for the various Taxes and Acts passed by the British Parliament at the time. Students have to pay a "stamp tax" for every hand-out Mrs. Bram gives out or they need to rent pencils to simulate the effects of the Tea Act. Over the last few weeks the taxes and the frustration to these taxes has been ramping up. This week the students (led by Mrs. Bram) had their own version of the First Continental Congress to discuss the effects of the Intolerable Acts. As the pressure keeps building, the students experience and understand in a very personal way, the factors and emotions that led to the American Revolution.]]></description>

Many students have already completed their "Keshes" (Rainbow) Words and received their certificates with three more students reaching their goal this week.

					<description><![CDATA[In STEAM class this past week, the second graders learned all about different species of birds and how they developed unique features to help them obtain food based on their environment. The boys then built bird-feeders to attract the kinds of birds they wanted to see, adding features that made it easier for their chosen bird to use the bird feeder. Every design was unique and creative and we're sure the birds will love to stop by and have a snack!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Of the many dramatic moments in Sefer Beraishis, Birchas Yaakov-Yaakov's blessings to his children before his passing, is a particularly poignant one. Fourth grade girls completed their unit on Birchas Yaakov and treated their parents and family members to a beautiful and dramatic play outlining the various blessings each Shevet received and why. The care and effort the students put in was evident in every line they delivered and every song they sang. Their play was a captivating reminder that we should embrace the beauty of our differences, because our unique strengths can all be used to serve Hashem in a personal and meaningful way!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This Tuesday at TDSA was a joyous occasion. The school celebrated Lag Ba'Omer in a number of ways! Lag Ba'omer marks the 33rd day of the Omer with bonfires, outdoor play and bows and arrows to commemorate the Yortzeit of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai.  While the 6th-8th grade girls took off to Thompson Park for a fun Lag Ba'Omer activity, the lower school students gathered around the "bonfire" to hear a beautiful story from Rabbi Freundlich! Rabbi Freundlich was a riveting as always and the students hung on his every word. When they returned to their classrooms there was more lag-baomer fun, 1st graders made mini bonfires out of pretzels and red twizzlers and  and "roasted" mini marshmallows before enjoying actual smores. The second grade girls made their own bonfire out of shoes and danced around it, while the Kindergarteners went outside and did some target practice with toy bows and arrows. The middle school boys marked the occasion with an edge-of-your seat volleyball tournament as a capstone to their Beautiful Ben Torah Program! All-in-all TDSA had a lot of fun on Lag Ba'Omer!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In Mrs. Castle's science class our seventh graders launched themselves into the study of physics. Physics, as a science, provides us with an understanding of motion and energy. To bring these concepts to life, students are building roller coasters out of paper to increase their understanding of  potential and kinetic energy, gravity, friction and more! They can't wait to learn more about the fascinating physical forces that direct our lives (and amusement park rides!)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Just after returning from Pesach break, On Target Pediatric Therapy debuted the Target Zone, a brand new sensory room at TDSA open to all students. Complete with muted lighting, a sensory tent, giant bean-bags and more, the Target Zone is a place where any student can go for a few minutes to decompress and self-regulate. The Target Zone was designed with input from the expert occupational therapists at On Target Pediatric Therapy and TDSA's teachers and support staff. One fourth grade enrichment group even got in on the act, providing a calming puzzle, weighted blanket, and sensory bottles they made themselves. They're still working on improving the space with posters about calming and self-regulating techniques ready to go up soon. We hope that the Target Zone will be useful in helping students manage their stress, regulate and see greater success in their studies throughout the day.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In STEAM class, 1B has been learning about butterflies. Butterflies are very beautiful, with wonderful colors and patterns on their wings, but the boys in 1B learned that their colors and patterns aren't random. They can serve as camouflage or a warning to predators. Butterfly colors and patterns may mimic other poisonous butterflies and even have pretend owl eyes to scare off predator. After learning all of this, the boys took time designing their own butterflies and creating cards for special people in their lives.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In honor of Earth Day, which was this week, the kindergarten students made signs about keeping our school grounds clean to hang around the school. They "cleaned" the playground of trash as well, doing their part to keep our planet clean and healthy. They also experienced recycling in action as they made their own recycled paper!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You could hear a pin drop at MSG's Yom Ha-atzmaut Chidon. The audience was silent and waited with bated breath as their class representatives answered question after question about the State of Israel. The representatives were chosen based on how they scored on a preliminary test that had been administered a few weeks back. In the lead-up to the chidon, the girls studied hard and were able to answer almost any question thrown at them! From peace treaties, to olympic gold medalists and astronauts, our students rattled off dates, events, and names with practiced ease. The rest of the students were incredibly proud of their classmates and listened respectfully as they answered the questions. Later in the day, the Middle School Boys celebrated Israel with a rousing field day, with games of "Kadur-Sal (soccer)" and an IDF style boot camp and obstacle course! Kol-Hakavod to all our class representatives for all the work they put in for the Chidon and an especial thanks to our incomparable ivrit team, Morah Beatrice Maimon and Mrs. Helen Altman, for helping our students prepare, and organizing and running the chidon! Also, thank you to our amazing Shinshinim, Inbar and Andy for all your assistance!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This week, as the culmination of a number of different units in Science, Mrs. Castle's fifth grade classes took a trip to Lake Lanier. The students enjoyed a beautiful boat ride in the gorgeous weather and collected samples of the lake's water. They tested pH levels and different methods of water filtration on the lake water. They also used microscopes to see the tiny microorganisms in Lake Lanier. Additionally, the students explored other aspects of the lake ecosystem by searching for birds local to the area.  Thank you so much to Mrs. Castle, our wonderful chaperones, and the guides on Lake Lanier for making this amazing trip possible.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This week in Library Class, Mrs. Rabinowitz introduced the students to the classic book The Empty Pot by Demi. The Empty Pot follows a chinese emperor who tests the honesty of his heirs. The students used the book as a springboard for fascinating discussions about being honest, owning up to mistakes, and what they would do in a difficult situation like the Emperor in the story creates for his potential heirs. To cap off this week's unit the students made empty pots of their own, as well as completed worksheets and brain puzzles about ancient China and  made beautiful Chinese lanterns out of paper.]]></description>

All of TDSA's Middle School Boys worked incredibly hard and learned an absolutely astronomical 65,076 Mishnayos altogether!  With good food and a lot of good cheer; parents, peers, and community members came to support our final four contestants. The finalists were tested on their knowledge of Mishnayos by Rabbi Pransky, Rosh Kollel, and wowed everyone with their knowledge and understanding. More than anything, what stood out was the camaraderie among the boys as they encouraged each other and spurred each other on to greater heights of learning, and their enthusiasm and love of Torah!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Once again, our second graders are hard at work building something exciting. With expert supervision by Rabbi Rubin, the students are constructing the frame for a creative Sefirah Counter. With the 49 days of Sefirah approaching the students cut  the pieces of the frame and screwed them together. The Sefirah counter is also a practical lesson on Hebrew numbers. Once the students were done with the frame, they were given paper strips with each day of the omer on them. The strips were shuffled and the students had to arange them in the correct order before putting them together. TDSA would like extend a special thank you to Mr. Andy Lewis for providing the custom plastic front covers (extra thick this year!) to place on top of the Sefirah counters to make them extra sturdy and durable! We hope our students will use their Sefirah counters to mark each day of the omer and build the excitement towards Matan Torah!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If you take a trip down to the Kodesh Resource Center at TDSA you will see an amazing sight: Lettuce growing in the middle of a classroom. For a second year in a row, TDSA is growing lettuce hydroponically. There's no dirt or soil and Rabbi Rubin needs to keep the system perfectly calibrated. From students checking the Ph of the water, to the right amount of light and "wind" it's amazing how many different things we need to keep on top of to successfully grow lettuce. This certainly makes us appreciate what goes into growing the Maror we use at the seder and enhances our students' understanding of the mitzvah!]]></description>

When writing the Torah, Moshe Rabbeinu specifically made the letter "Alef" in the word "Vayikra-and He called" smaller than the other letters in the word. This illustrates Moshe's tremendous humility. Even though Hashem specifically called to him, Moshe made the Alef smaller to show that he wasn't that important. To drive home this lesson, the boys went into our very own beis medrash and were able to see inside the Torah how small the letter "Alef" is in this word.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The third grade's unit on natural disasters is taking over STEAM. To supplement their nonfiction reports on natural disasters, Mrs. Pelishev has had the students exploring engineering and science challenges related to various weather conditions. The third grade boys simulated the weather conditions that create massive storms by making a hurricane in a bottle. Meanwhile the third grade girls were challenged to construct a house capable of withstanding the high wind-speeds usually associated with natural disasters and even tested to see if their houses could stand up to the high winds they created using their own fans.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Shabbos is one of the foundations of Jewish life. It is a time when parents and children can reconnect with each other and with Hashem. Our Kindergarten students have been  increasing their pride in their Shabbos observance over the past month. They've made Shabbos projects, learned different laws and customs surrounding Shabbos and shared some of their own with their fascinated classmates. The culmination of this unit was a fun "Melave Malka." Traditionally a meal which escorts Shabbos out on Saturday evening, the Kindergarten students had their Melave Malka on Sunday morning. They came together, ate, sang and celebrated the beauty of Shabbos!]]></description>

At the siddur play, the eighth graders and first graders shared what they had learned from each other with their parents. Then, the students danced and sang their way through a musical production about the beauty and importance of Tefillah. All the parents, grandparents, and family members present were bursting with pride as each girl came up to the front of the stage to receive her very own siddur!

					<description><![CDATA[In STEAM class, 3B has been learning all about how sound waves travel. The boys used a balloon to simulate the way sound waves move through the air to our ears. They sat in a row and "wobbled" to mimic how sound waves wobble through the air around them until they reach a barrier-like a windshield or our ears so we can hear them!]]></description>

Our 6th grade boys took on the responsibility of planning and executing a packed Chanukah Carnival for the boys in grades K-4. At the carnival, the boys showed their Chanukah spirit by making menorahs out of Twizzlers and playing dreidel themed carnival games. They raced to see who could build a Menorah out of PVC piping the fastest, as well as played more traditional carnival games like Coke vs. Pepsi and, everyone's favorite, guessing how many chocolate chips are hidden in the marshmallow fluff. The sixth grade boys were able to flex their creativity, planning and organizational skills, while the younger boys had a fantastic time!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Chanukah time is a good time to reinforce the importance of fire safety! The kindergarten through fourth grade students were visited by the Dekalb County Fire Department in order to discuss what they do and how they keep us safe. The firefighters exhibited the various kinds of gear they use to fight fires and rescue trapped individuals. They even demonstrated how quickly they’re able to don their gear by engaging in a fun race between two firefighters to see who could gear-up faster! The Kindergarteners were able to ask the firefighters all sorts of fire-safety questions to tie into their class unit on fire safety, while the older students had many thoughtful inquiries about fire fighting and disaster rescue!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Supporting the Apogee Scholarship Fund program by redirecting a portion of your GA income tax to Torah Day School of Atlanta is a powerful way to invest in the Jewish future.



The Apogee Scholarship Fund is essential to Torah Day School of Atlanta. Last year, it provided over $400,000 dollars—funds that directly enabled students to attend TDSA. Without Apogee, much of what we do would not be possible.



Instead of sending your full payment to the State of Georgia, you can redirect part of your state tax dollars to TDSA through Apogee. You’ll receive a 100% state income tax credit—and the value of a TDSA education is passed on to our students.]]></description>
