Middle school girls hosted the Kindergarten classes and grades 1-4 girls for their annual Purim Carnival. They set up booths to entertain and enthrall the younger students, from cup stacking to a pickle-eating contest, to face-painting, cola taste testing, and more!

The boys in grades 1-3 had a blast during their Purim Carnvial, designed and implemented by the fourth graders! Balloon popping, moon bounce, cup stacking, face-painting, and more!

3rd & 4th grade boys went on a field trip to the West Atlanta Watershed Alliance Outdoor Activity Center with their STEAM teacher, Mrs. Pelishev, They walked the trails of the forest, learned and measured the pH value of the water, and calculated the age of a tree, among many other interesting learning experiences.

Sixth grade girls have discovered that researching Judaica has become infinitely easier with the creation of the website Sefaria. They had the opportunity to Zoom with Sefaria's Chief Learning Officer to hear more about how to navigate the website, all in preparation for a research paper the students will be working on.

TDSA's first grade girls completed their Hebrew cursive writing curriculum. Imagine the fun they had using twizzlers as their assessment toll to evaluate how well could write their letters! It was YUMMY!

Kindergarten through 4th graders (boys and girls) are committed to reciting their brachos out loud, and what better way to illustrate the power of our brachos than with an Amen Party. The students dedicated their brachos and amens to the refuah shleimah of several people needing their prayers.

TDSA's Woodshop in Action!

Students were able to use high-quality woodshop materials to design and build their very own wooden graggers for a great hands-on learning experience.
