First Tennyson Circles of the year

12/16/2015

0 Comments

 
For those of you who might not remember or who are new to the school, Tennyson Circles is an  activity in which children from all grades Kindergarten to Grade 7, are in a multi-aged grouping,  with a different teacher. The purpose of this activity is to foster a sense of community by having  children spend time with children, other than their classmates, and a staff member they may  not otherwise have the opportunity to work with. In this way, new acquaintances are formed,  with the younger students perhaps having someone older to help them outside on the  playground and the older students having a new little buddy to help and look out for. Staff will  also get to know other students, thereby fostering a sense of one large community. A big thank  you to Mme Christine for organizing this important event.

Do you know of a furnished house for rent for a French family?

12/15/2015

0 Comments

 
A little while ago, we posted a letter from a French family looking to do an exchange/house swap in Vancouver.  
A Tennyson family has taken them up on their offer and will leave on June 1 to travel to their home in France.  The French family,  however, is coming at the end of April and will need a furnished rental for the month of May until they move into the Tennyson family's home.

I am posting this here in case there  might be a family at Tennyson that could possibly help them out  or who may have (or know of)   a furnished rental near the school.

Please contact Dreama Lee at  
dreamalee2003@yahoo.com  if you have any suggestions.
Thanks!

Message from Mme Lyse (teacher librarian)

12/13/2015

0 Comments

 
During our holiday break, students and all Tennyson families are invited to continue to enjoy reading books  and   magazines from the Tennyson Library. Our collection offers a large selection of books primarily in French but also provides fiction in English as well and some non-fiction. Come in before or after school to make your choice for and with your child/children. Each family can borrow up to five books at the time. If you plan on traveling outside the country, it's preferable to leave the reading material at home. 
Looking forward to seeing you in the library. Wish you the best holiday season and plenty of reading.

Math - It's Not Really a 4-letter Word...

Our math  curriculum is focused on the big ideas, on mental math and on number sense.  
It  encourages learners to think deeply about the math and make connections between ideas.
How can we as parents support our children in becoming mathematical thinkers?  

Come and find out!

Carole Fullerton  is an Educational Consultant and a teacher leader working in Kindergarten to Grade 12 classrooms to support the development of numeracy instruction across BC, Alberta, Yukon, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. She is passionate about mathematics instruction. 

Carole has authored and co-authored several teacher resource books on mathematics instruction, focused on mathematical thinking, on mastery of the facts, and on the operations.
