Time Machine

The sixth grade class has been working on a research project on ancient civilizations since earlier in the school year.
Their project resulted in a special culminating activity that involved all of the other Akiva students.
The other classrooms were invited to visit and to enter a “time machine” that would transport students to far away lands of long ago.
After exiting the “time machine”, students were issued passports and were sent to places such as Mesopotamia, Greece, India, Rome, China and Egypt.

Presidential Active Lifestyle Awards



Miss Darla, our Physical Education teacher, presents the Presidential Active Lifestyle Awards to Lexi, Eric and Arsenia. Students were able to independently log their "active lifestyle" and submit their log for approval and for the award. Students were required to show that they had done activities for at least one hour a day, six days a week for six weeks.

Good job. Congratulations!!

Another Successful Science Fair !

At the end of March, Akiva Academy held the annual Science Fair, under the direction of Mrs. Katz, our science teacher. MUCH preparation went into this intense, but enjoyable science activity.

On the day of the Fair, students met individually with a pair of judges and had to explain their project and then answer whatever questions the judges might have. The students did a wonderful job exhibiting their knowledge of the various topics.










Students in grades K-3 completed group projects for their room. Below, the Kindergarten students talk to the judges about their class project.
Our student who won Best of Show was Taylor Burdman...Congratulations!!!
That evening parents and friends were invited to the building to view the student work.
Good Job, Mrs. Katz and all of the Akiva students !!
