TKG Academy, Dallas

📖Lower Elementary students are having so much fun in the Language arts class with their Roald Dahl book club!

🌟At TKG Academy, we believe in hands-on learning that prepares our students for success in the real world. In our Government class, students recently immersed themselves in the legislative branch of the US government through a thrilling activity!

Dividing into “parties,” they crafted and debated a bill on the use of post-it notes in school. Through compromise and teamwork, they navigated the complexities of law-making, just like in Congress! 🏛️

But it’s not just about understanding government; it’s about fostering essential skills for success. Critical thinking, collaboration, and negotiation are the tools our students wield, far more valuable than high grades alone. 🧠💡

By empowering our future leaders with these skills, we’re not only shaping successful individuals but also inspiring them to bring about positive change in our Krishna-conscious community and beyond. 🌍✨

At TKG Academy , we’re not just educating minds; we’re shaping futures. Join us in nurturing the leaders of tomorrow! 📚🌟

📚 Exploring nonfiction text structures with Mother Krishna Priya in our 2nd and 3rd grade Language Arts classroom at TKG Academy!

🎨🔍 As part of their reading comprehension unit, students delved into nonfiction picture books, creating posters that showcased text structures such as diagrams, key words, and captions.

🖼️💡 Through this hands-on approach, students honed their comprehension skills while fostering creativity and attention to detail.

🌟 We’re proud of their dedication to learning and the innovative projects they produced! 🌱💫

To celebrate the 150th Appearance Day of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur, TKG Academy students researched quotes by him, and then made an offering related to the quote they selected:

Offering to Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur | 150th Appearance Day | February 29, 2024 This video is copyrighted along with any music. Please do not use this without permission.

The Middle schoolers have been learning to write powerful personal narratives. As we approached the end of the unit, the students compiled their stories and produced a book. They designed the cover, formatted the book for printing, assembled the books. We celebrated with a “Publication Day”!

Each student took home a copy of their book to share with their families.

The students also gifted a copy to the teachers. They enjoyed having a book signing. The students excitedly expressed: “This is how Maharajs feel when they are signing books!”

Reminder: enrollment ends on March 31st.

🌿🔍 Explore the practical wonders of year-round gardening at TKG Academy! 🌱❄️

While winter gardening may seem less demanding than spring or summer, our students are using this time for in-depth observation and hands-on learning.

📝 From discovering the surprising characteristics of banana trees to understanding the ideal conditions for fungi like mushrooms, every gardening session is a lesson in real-life science! 🔬

💡 Plus, gardening isn’t just about plants—it’s about instilling practical skills and values that last a lifetime. 🌟

💚 By connecting with nature and our Hare Krishna philosophy, students learn the importance of stewardship, sustainability, and mindful living. 🌍🙏

Robotic Signals and Interpretation
By Aurav Bawari
✨
Abstract
The purpose of my project was to present an option for communicating without sound. The robotic hand and computer programs will show and interpret signals. In the prototype, I tested how well the subjects could comprehend the signals with the help of the computer. I conducted experiments where participants communicated with me using short sentences. They were able to get the message across in silence.
🧬
Way to go, Aurav!

🎨✨ Transforming Vocabulary with Art at TKG Academy!

📚Parth, Aric, and Vrajaraj from 4th and 5th grade are crafting a visual masterpiece by labeling a custom story board with recent vocabulary words.

🌟 4th grader Aric, along with his talented teacher, Mother Savitri, turns learning into art!

Why is this technique so helpful for learning vocabulary, you ask? 🤔

Well, combining art with language taps into multiple areas of the brain, enhancing memory retention and fostering a more holistic understanding of words. It’s a dynamic approach that sparks creativity, making the learning process enjoyable and memorable.

🌾Happy harvesters. Late fall and winter is the time to harvest root crops such as sweet potatoes and carrots, as well as hardy greens like kale.

🌿Last Spring’s planting of slips thrived as vines all summer and early fall until November frosts finished them. All the while beneath the ground grew buried treasure. — Sweet Potatoes!! There were even some in Kalachandji’s Thanksgiving feast!

🌻 Our gardening class solves the beautiful problem of disconnection from nature. In a world filled with screens and concrete, it reconnects children with the earth, teaching them patience, responsibility, and the joy of nurturing life. Through gardening, our little ones develop a profound respect for the cycle of seasons and the interconnectedness of all living beings.

🌱 Cultivating Values Through Gardening 🌱

In our Upper Elementary class, late fall brings the joy of harvest! 🌾 This season, we had a bountiful crop of okra, a vegetable that thrives in the heat. But gardening isn't just about growing veggies; it's about nurturing young minds.

Gardening class teaches teamwork, patience, and the art of nurturing life. 🤝 Our students come together to care for the plants and reap the rewards of their labor. They tie strings around bunches of mint, not just for themselves but to share with their schoolmates. 🌿

By getting their hands dirty in the garden, children learn responsibility, the importance of taking care of our environment, and the value of sharing. Gardening class is more than just a practical skill; it's a life lesson that blossoms alongside our crops. 🌻💚

🌟 Nurturing Future Leaders with Critical Thinking! 📚🧠
At TKG Academy , we're shaping success through the transformative Socratic Method! 🙌💭

🤔 What's the Socratic Method, You Ask? 🧐
It's a powerful teaching approach where students explore complex questions, encouraging deep insights and critical thinking.

In our Government class, our students aren't just learning facts; they're mastering critical thinking! 🤝🌐

🗳️ Exploring Democracy vs. Republic: Our students are diving into the pros and cons of democracy, understanding the nuances of a republic. Using the Socratic Method, they respond in four thought-provoking ways:
✨ "I agree because..." - Voicing their beliefs.
✨ "I respectfully disagree because..." - Expressing differences respectfully.
✨ "That statement is supported..." - Backing their arguments with sound reasoning.
✨ "Can you clarify what you mean..." - Promoting clarity and deeper understanding.

📖 Guided by the Federalist Papers: To enrich their perspectives, they draw wisdom from the Federalist Papers, embracing insights from the past to shape a brighter future. 🇺🇸

🌟 Why Critical Thinking Prevails: In our ever-evolving world, we believe that critical thinking skills are the keys to success. It empowers your child to be a confident leader and a wise decision-maker.

Unlocking the Science of Holistic Living! 🌟

At our Krishna Conscious School, we blend the best of science with our Hare Krishna lifestyle to empower young minds. 📚💫

🔍 Discover Real Science: We're on a journey to investigate the effects of smoking on our bodies, questioning if cigarette warning labels should be updated. 🚬💡

🔬 Science Highlights: Our students engage in in-depth research on healthy body systems, dive into case studies of long-term smokers to understand diverse symptoms, and even model the damages caused by smoking while discussing potential mechanisms. 🧬🔬

🌱 A Higher Understanding: As they delve into the science, they also realize that much of the damage, like cancer, addiction, or restricted blood flow, occurs at the cellular level. We're literally zooming in to discover more about cells! 🧪🔬

🙌 Empowering Future Devotees: By joining TKG Academy, students nurture not just their education, but their commitment to principles for spiritual life.
📖🙏

Growing up, Bhakti children sometimes face challenges in standing out as confident leaders. But at TKG Academy, we nurture this confidence from a young age.

Our middle school students recently delved deep into Government processes during Social Studies class. They formulated categories and thought-provoking questions on Leadership, Values, Laws, Law Enforcement, and finances. Witnessing their lively, well-reasoned discussions was truly inspiring.

We see them actively working towards realizing the dream of Saint Bhaktivinoda Thakur, who foresaw our Bhakti children becoming highly respected high-court judges.

Join us in shaping confident leaders for the future!
