Welcome to First Grade at Thimmig Elementary!!!
Welcome to first grade at Thimmig Elementary! We have a great school and are happy to see you!!!
At Thimmig Elementary, we are very dedicated to implementing a developmentally appropriate program that includes all aspects of a child's learning to ensure academic success. Our program is one that integrates the academic demands of today with the developmental needs of six- and seven-year-old students.
We use an innovative schedule at Thimmig Elementary that has increased student success immensely. Each first grade class will have a team of two teachers for instruction. One teacher is an expert in reading instruction and one is an expert in math. This specialization has allowed for real growth for students. In addition, your child will have one of those two teachers for writing instruction and "homeroom" purposes.
In addition to changing scheduling to increase student achievement, our district is implementing an early release every Wednesday afternoon for staff development purposes. This means a shorter schedule on Wednesday for your child. Please check the schedule below for details.
Below, you will find the basic daily schedule for first grade at Thimmig. If your child's homeroom is LaRue or Padilla, your child will have math instruction first. If your child's homeroom is Cullen or Savaleta, your child will start with reading.
Have a great day and WELCOME to Thimmig Elementary!!!
