Continuous Happenings at Tenaha Schools

 

 

 

The 8th Grade math classes At Tenaha ISD are having a monthly Khan Academy contest. After taking the first six weeks to get some 8th grade concepts mastered and learn the workings of the Khan Academy site, the 8th Graders just completed their first contest month. 

 

Khan Academy is a free, online learning site that is donation and supporter funded. Students who have an account can practice math concepts at any grade from Kindergarten (Early Math) through 8th by grade level and High School and College level math by course (Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus, SAT, GMAT, MCAT, etc.). Students can even search for specific math concepts to practice. 

 

Additionally, Khan Academy is diagnostically driven. If a student is having difficulty with a topic, more of that type problem is provided. If a student is successfully answering problems, the program challenges them with higher level problems. When students reach concepts that they are unfamiliar with, hints are provided (with step by step explanations) and most questions have detailed video lessons available at the click of their mouse. Tablets are available for student use every morning and Monday-Thursday after school. Additionally, students have access during Tiger Tutorials each school day. Khan Academy can also be accessed from any computer or smart phone off campus! There’s even a Khan Academy app available.

 

 

Andrew Tyner.JPGAndrew Tyner, is this month’s winner of the Khan Academy math competition.

 

To encourage our 8th graders to practice on their own students are able to build points towards the monthly contest as they work on their mathematics mastery. The highest point winner each month wins a $10.00 WalMart gift card. The point totals are filtered for each month, so previously earned points are not included in the winning tabulation. This month’s winner was Andrew Tyner. Congratulations Andrew!!!

 

 

 

Tenaha ISD-Honoring All Who Served

 

 

Local Veterans honored at BETA club Veterans Day presentation.  Pictured on bottom row left to right are James Grimsley, Bob Davis, Dale Stepp, Charles Hooker, George Bowers, David Jeter, Willis Blackwell and Roland Cross.   

 

Veterans Day is a day to honor those that have selflessly served our great country.  Friday, November 11th, the Tenaha Beta Club presented their annual Veterans Day program.  

 

 

 

The Tenaha Beta Club program is dedicated to all veterans, past and present, for making the USA the best country in the world to live in.  

 

Without all the sacrifices these courageous men and women have made, this country would not be free today.  

 

 

Each member of the Junior High and High School Beta Club members expressed their appreciation to local Veterans with poems and stories. 

 

 

 

“I am proud that the Beta Students are always willing to honor our Veterans on Veterans Day,” commented Brenda Farmer, BETA sponsor.   These students learn that our great country was built upon sacrifices from many others throughout history. The students are amazed that so many local people, and their own teachers that they see on a daily basis, have put their lives on the line for them and the freedoms that we all enjoy.

 

 

Beta Club members personally thanked each Veteran for their service to our country.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

Tenaha Elementary First Graders also took part in honoring our Veterans by presenting their rendition of “You’re A Grand Old Flag”.
