Thinking about their "mistakes" and ways to improve themselves was a thought provoking exercise in 2nd grade. They are preparing for a child-appropriate Yom Kippur.
8th grade boys, are engaged in measuring distance & displacement, 2 crucial terms of mechanics. One is a scalar quantity while the other is a vector quantity.
5th graders are using visualization as they read James and the Giant Peach. They are painting a scene from the book!
Mrs. Rubin provides individualized attention to all her math students. She digs deep to understand their math skill proficiencies.
The eighth graders are enjoying their outdoor classroom! Fresh air, collaborative learning, or reading alone, it all works! This is the humanities class.
Rabbi Rubin carefully guides the 2nd graders as they build their own wooden esrog boxes. They are also building a special excitement and anticipation of performing a mitzvah!
Guest Speakers Inspire Middle School Students
As parr of the עשרת ימי תשובה
guest speaker series, Rabbi Feldman addressed the middle school boys and the middle school girls. Other speakers included Mrs. Elana (Pollock) Meth, Rabbi Shraga Neuberger, and Rabbi Doniel Pransky. Our students were certainly inspired!
Kindergarten through 4th Grade Girls Pre-Yom Kippur Activity
Morah Cohen gave the leadership reins over to the 5th grade girls. They led an activity for the 2nd through 4th grade girls to teach them about the four stages of Teshuva. To show this they ran four different challenges, one for each stage - to have a physical expression of the idea. In the picture you can see the Charata - "regret" challenge, where the girls had to crawl under the low bar, mimicking the concept of feeling low and humbled.
Flashback!
It's hard to believe that TDSA once had a succah on its property! And school was held during chol hamoed! Can you imagine!!!! If you take a close look, you may see one of our current 2nd-grade rebbes, one of Temima High School's beloved morahs, and the Menahel of the Kollel in Minneapolis. Do you recognize anyone else? What year do you think this picture was taken?
