Learning Focus At Thayne Elementary

The learning focus at Thayne Elementary will be on reading, writing, and mathematics. Wyoming state standards will guide instruction in these areas.

Reading Thayne Elementary staff will teach each child reading skills using a direct instruction program. The program we have chosen to use is Reading Mastery. This program gives each student a proven, systematic, instructional approach, that is geared to his or her individual needs. Student progress is continually monitored and changes made to see that each child is learning at the highest level possible. The Reading Renaissance program will also be used to foster the practice of the reading skills learned. This program sets individual goals with students and lets them test their knowledge on the books that they read.

Writing Thayne Elementary students will be instructed daily on writing skills and given opportunity to practice with what they learn. Correct handwriting form will be taught using the Zaner Bloser model. Spelling will be taught and implemented in writing activities.

Math Lincoln Co. School District #2 has implemented the Harcourt Math program in all elementary schools. Students will be assessed on concepts to be learned and then grouped and taught according to their needs.
