Mrs. Thomas-TLC Teacher
Nascar Club
Students come to the TLC classroom before school each morning and
eat
breakfast. Teachers will group students according to their specific needs.
After eating breakfast students will play teacher supervised learning
games and/or listening to taped books with discussions lead by teachers.
Reading games will consist of a variety of subject areas so students will
be able to read and understand written text across the curriculum.
Learning games are selected based on the Texas Essential Knowledge
and Skills setforth by the state, along with curriculum timelines set for by
Northside ISD. Students will be dismissed when it is time for school to start.
Students will return to their homeroom class when the morning bell rings.

Piecing Together the World of Autism
The need to educate the students about autism will inevitably need to
be addressed at a campus level within the classroom. The grant will
provide classroom teachers and specialists with the resources they need
to help students have a better understanding and acceptance of this disorder.
Every child is different in unique ways. The goal of this grant is to get
children to understand why some children with autism act differently.This
can be challenging especially
at the elementary level. Children will gain
the understanding and acceptance of children with autism through fun,
interactive stories and lessons.Teaching and explaining why and how students
with autism act different to others will help
broaden the horizon of acceptance.
