Fifth Grade

Teacher Information

My name is Mrs. Tennant and this is my sixth year teaching at Holy Family School. I am a 5th grade homeroom teacher and I teach math to both 5th and 6th grade. I also teach 5th grade religion. I grew up in Lindenhurst, attended Our Lady of Perpetual Help Elementary School, and attended St. John the Baptist High School in West Islip. From there, I began my college career at Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana. I studied elementary and early childhood education and graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in 2010. After graduation, I moved to Chicago for 3 years where I taught preschool at St. John Berchmans School in Logan Square, Illinois. While teaching, I attended National Louis University in Chicago to receive my Master’s degree in Technology of Education. 

Both of my sons attend Holy Family! Colin is in 3rd grade and Theodore is in 1st grade. I have had a very enjoyable 5 years and I look forward to the coming months and years at Holy Family!

Message to Students

Welcome 5th grade students! I am so excited and blessed to have you in my class this year. This school year will bring many exciting adventures and new challenges. I hope that you come to school this year expecting it to be the best you could ever imagine. I am thrilled to meet all of you and learn about who it is you are. 

Message to Parents
Welcome to 5th grade at Holy Family School! I am excited to have your child in my class and cannot wait to teach them this year! I look forward to creating an honest, open, helpful and caring relationship with your child, but I do believe that one of the most important relationships is that between a parent and teacher. If we can positively interact and easily communicate with each other, your child will be motivated to succeed. In addition to email, I use the Remind App and the class page to communicate with parents. I will also make sure your child is confident in his or her ability to navigate and understand Google Classroom, which is our main learning platform. Feel free to email me with any questions you may have. Thank you!
