Hello Tenino Families! It’s March! Here’s wishing everyone a happy St. Paddy’s day in advance. There are so many great things going on here at the home of the Tigers. As I write this, the halls are decorated with student art, as we get ready for the Art Auction. Last year this PTA event raised thousands of dollars, which we have put to good use including updated safety equipment (radios and emergency backpacks), playground equipment (basketballs, Frisbees and hoola-hoops), enrichment programs (student leadership, Legos, Cup Stacking and Board Games) and last but not least, our Community Garden. With the assistance of parent volunteers and a variety of community organizations, we have installed six garden beds, a shed and a greenhouse! Stop in and take a look at this excellent project! Academically, we continue to emphasize and teach the ability to persevere when trying to solve difficult or challenging problems, especially in the area of math and writing. Sometimes students get frustrated and give up. Instead, we encourage them to hang in there, try different strategies and exercise a growth mindset. It’s not that they don’t understand, it’s that they don’t understand YET! One way you can help at home is to connect mathematical concepts to real life. Everyday situations like cooking or shopping can be great opportunities to practice math. Ask your child to predict how much several items might cost, then compare their answer with the receipt. Kids love guessing about money! Ask them to share their reasoning and what strategies they used. Another fun way to integrate math at home is to play board games such as Uno, Connect Four or Cribbage. These games help kids identify patterns and develop number sense. These simple, fun activities can go a long way in reinforcing important academic skills at home. Also, thank you for your support regarding changes in schedules due to ice and snow. I hope our communication was clear and timely so you could adjust your family’s schedule without too much disruption. Our goal is to always maximize opportunity to learn while also keeping students, staff and parents safe.

Thank you for your support and Go Tigers! Proud to be your principal. Mr. Harrington
