April 27, 2012 in Growing, Laboratory, Newsletters, Parents, Shining, Students
Dear Parents and Guardians:
Your child is invited to join the TIS Chess Club. This year the Chess Club will be meeting on Wednesdays May 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd from 3:30 – 4:30 in the TIS Lab.
The TIS Chess Club welcomes students of every ability level, from the complete beginner to accomplished grand masters. Everyone will learn new tactics, new strategies and will have FUN!
The membership fee for Chess Club is $10 (scholarships available) and is valid through their entire school career. This small fee will help to ensure that Chess Club will be able to continue next year. There are no refunds. Students will also receive a tournament style board and pieces in order to practice at home with friends and family.
Students MUST have a permission form signed by a parent in order to join. Please indicate below if your child will be picked up, or will be walking home on their own. Please be in the school driveway loop by 4:35 if you will be picking up your child.
Students are welcome to bring snacks to the Chess Club.
Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.

The Dollar Movies are Back!
January 25, 2012 in Shining, Showcase, Students
Dollar movies are back! Be sure to thank your student council members. They successfully collaborated with the superintendent of TSD and the Palm staff to bring the dollar movies back. The first movie will be February 3, 2012…3:30 until it’s over. Of course, it will only cost a dollar.
The dollar movies will continue as long as all audience members are cooperating and following the rules. Take a look at his video to see what’s expected of audience members. [movie by student council]

Bob solves a Large Multiplication Problem

My mathematics class has been inspired by the mathematics tutorials on www.mathtrain.tv and on www.khanacademy.org. So we thought we’d give it a try! This series of videos demonstrates what students have been learning since school started on August 22nd.
Here’s a screencast of Bob solving a large multiplication problem.
