| Overheard at Torah Academy
Our Early Childhood Meet- the- Teacher Night was held Wednesday evening. Parents attended the event in order to hear about the curricular goals and innovative programming that is spearheaded by Mrs. Aliza Askotzky, Early Childhood Director. "We are very excited about the new academic programs being implemented this year that will take our ECE department to a whole new level," said Mrs. Askotzky. Through programs such as Treasures Reading, Hebrew Language and High Scope Math, the students will gain a variety of skills and meet so many developmental milestones. The new staff of the early childhood have brought with them experience and enthusiasm and have eagerly become an important part of the Torah Academy family. |
Early Childhood Encounters
 The three year olds have been learning all about friendships and relationships. "Working together is a wonderful way to teach the children how important it is to share and work as a team," said Morah Revi. The class created a friendship quilt using foam, yarn and a lot of imagination. They also played music and sang songs as they learned the value of friendship. 
Ms. Green and her kindergarten class were not only 'tasting' honey from bees, but they learned all about Honey Bees. Through stories and interactive activities they observed the creatures, safely, outside and observed their habits and rituals. "The students are learning about their five senses through observation and investigation," said Ms. Green. Exploring the many textures and talents of bee's and their 'honey' is an experiential lesson. |
Elementary Insights
Mrs. Meth and her fourth and fifth grade girls explored the ten days of teshuva with thoughtful questions and discussions. Mrs. Meth engaged her students in an interactive conversation about getting closer to Hashem as we ask for forgiveness. Through music and dialogue she was able to share stories and insights into Torah and Mitzvos related to Yom Kippur. |
Academic Highlights
Creating a classroom community was a highlight this week as the Elementary staff explored ways to build motivation and communication within their classrooms. Mrs. Plotkin shared some strategies for engaging the students in the process of building a classroom community and success. "It is imperative that the students, themselves actively participate in the development of exactly what their community will look like." |
Pre- Succos Art Workshop
Students were excited to participate in a pre-Succos art workshop with Torah Academy's new art teacher, Miss Sarah Levitan, where they each created welcome signs for the Ushpizin. |
