When you walk through the halls of The Silver Academy, it is remarkable to see and hear what goes on every day.  Today, I watched students engaged in prayer, conducting science experiments, working on writing assignments, speaking and singing in Hebrew, actively exercising in physical education classes, studying Judaic texts... and that was only what I saw.   Each day students at The Silver Academy are pushing themselves to their fullest potential.  Ask your children about their day (be specific!) and find out what it's all about.

3rd Grade Judaics

Kitah Gimel has hit the ground running! We have begun to study and review the laws and customs of Rosh HaShanah, including the sounding of the Shofar. There are a few budding Ba'alei Tokayah (those who sound the shofar)! We have learned how Hashem taught us the importance of the Mitzvah of Bikur Cholim (visiting the sick) and how Avraham taught us the importance of the Mitzvah of Hachnasat Orchim (welcoming guests), all in the first

chapter of our studies in Chumash. We have also 

learned many mitzvot in our studies of the weekly Torah portion, including how to be kind to animals as well as to people.

What makes a great mystery? How did Sir Arthur Conan Doyle manage to keep our 7th and 8th graders glued to the edges of their seats? During our reading of the Sherlock Holmes story, "The Speckled Band", we explored the various literary techniques used by this famous author.  We projected our own theories as we read. Who was responsible for the murder? How was it executed? What was the speckled band? How did Sherlock Holmes use his powers of deductive reasoning to solve the crime? Ask our 8th graders. They now have ALL the answers!!!The next step is to use what we have learned to craft our own "Sherlock Holmes" mysteries.
