The boys in Mrs. Adress’ fourth-grade class at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe were invited to a Chocolate Party to celebrate finishing The Chocolate Touch by Patrick Skene Catling. While making brownies, the class practiced cracking eggs and doubling a recipe. Each boy then got to choose his own toppings of mini-chocolate chips, mini-marshmallows, or lotus crumbs, and of course some boys chose to add all three!

The brains of Bnos Malka Academy’s middle schoolers are in high gear as the girls prove that they are not easily outsmarted! This year, BMA’s middle school introduced an interactive Puzzle of the Week bulletin board, which features a weekly brain game. The brain puzzles include a large variety of intriguing challenges, inviting students to employ math skills, logical thinking, deductive reasoning, and creativity for a chance to win the weekly raffle.

Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe recently celebrated the conclusion of the wonderful V’Taher Libeinu T’filah Program enhancing the t’filos of the talmidim in sixth to eighth grades. The boys successfully refrained from any talking during Shacharis, Minchah, and Maariv (just Shacharis for sixth grade) for a full month.

On Monday, January 29, all of the YCQ kindergarten students received their very own “starter siddurs.” This siddur is an introduction to t’filah readiness skills they will need when receiving their first siddur in Kitah Alef. The siddur will follow them into first grade and help with the transition to the use of a real siddur.

MTA has a thriving dorm, which services many out-of-town, as well as several in-town, talmidim. Many MTA talmidim arrange to spend some nights in the dorm to allow them to take full advantage of the campus, and its varied resources. There is a weekly dorm dinner, where everyone gathers together to enjoy time as a dorm community. In addition, there are a few dorm Shabbatons throughout the year that further bond the dorm talmidim.

The Pre-1A boys at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe completed their Alef-Beis and celebrated with a beautiful siyum! Since the beginning of the school year, the boys have been working on their k’riah, learning all the alef-beis letters and n’kudos.
