Lower school teachers welcomed families into their classrooms this past Wednesday evening and the students were so excited to show what they have been working on this year.  There were wonderful displays of creative and innovative learning and well thought out interactive exhibits that were student led.  The 4th grade entrepreneur business project was a highlight for the 4th grade and the 1st graders had a great time inviting people to make play dough.  Fun was had in every grade level and it made some of the parents wonder if they could come to school at CTA everyday to learn.  Much of the artwork on display will remain as permanent exhibits throughout the building.  Enjoy these pictures.  A great thank you to the teachers and students for their hard work to get everything set up.

Achievement Fair Slide Show

Last summer, six CTA families started a First Lego League (FLL) Team for a set of 4th-6th graders.  The FLL team, Red Rhino Robots, programmed and engineered robots to defeat obstacle missions.  FLL teams compete across the country in challenges that focus on real-world topics related to the sciences.  Each challenge within the competitions revolves around the theme set by the national board. The robotics part of the competition revolves around designing and programming Lego Mindstorms robots to complete tasks.  The Red Rhino Robots worked together as a team to resolve solutions to the various problems they were given and then met for regional tournaments to share their knowledge, compare ideas, and display their robots.  The team went to Dayton and performed amazingly for a first time at a competition.  Parent leaders for this program are Daniel Newman and Roman Ilin.  The students were presented with first year completion certificates last year.  The team looks forward to next year's challenges.  Group members include Ariel Ilin, Akiva Gisser, Eli Bernzweig, Saul Blumberg, Yaakov Liebesman, and Yaakov Newman.

Morah Elana's third grade morning davening class learned about the importance of prayer and how much each Tefillah counts. They created a short video, to song, to share what they have been learning, with others.  Please enjoy this rendition of Miami Boy's Choir's "We Need You."

We Need You

For almost a month, Ms. Meyer's Physics students have been learning about energy conservation through the Ohio Energy Project. To put their knowledge to the test, students designed their energy efficient dream homes. Students showed how their choices in appliances, home orientation, climate control systems, and landscapes could conserve energy and save them money over time! When making purchases and decisions for their own homes, the class of 2015 and 2016 will have no shortage of power knowledge!   Pictured is Becky Portman with her project and the project in close up.

Last Thursday, Dr. Kennedy's AP Physics class put their physics knowledge to the test during the National Physics Day at Kings Island amusement park. Thousands of students were at Kings Island, armed with worksheets, calculators and accelerometers, all taking part in one of the largest physics lab activities in the world - Amusement Park Physics. Where can the experimenter step into the experiment and subject him/herself to forces in excess of 3 G's? Where can they experience zero-gravity and live to tell the tale? Where can they verify the physics they've been learning all year long? Where else but at Kings Island on Physics Day!  Our AP Physics students were each assigned several rides to investigate and work out the physics behind the ride.  Our students had a great time and said the day was worth all the hard work of AP Physics!  Participates were: David Polster, Judah Stein, David Wolfson and Riki Shenkar.
