What Makes Us Special

Bloom knows the importance of literacy and bi-literacy. We want our students to be successful in tomorrow’s job markets. Bilingual skills are highly valued in the workplace, and the key to being bilingual is starting early. Bloom now offers a Spanish immersion, Two-Way Dual Language kindergarten class. We offer two Spanish Immersion Kindergarten classes and two Spanish Immersion 1st grade classes this year.

Bloom Elementary has a strong focus on reading and writing through all subjects. The school uses the Daily 5 reading approach, which helps children develop reading stamina. The program allows for small-group instruction and individualized instruction.

Bloom uses the Engage NY/Eureka Math curriculum, which develops the habit of mind that mathematics is a tool to be used to solve many different types of problems. Bloom also works to help children build character, focusing on three areas: behavior, self-reflection and setting academic and personal goals.

TWBI

In August 2016, TUSD established its first Dual Language Immersion Program for the parents/families of the TUSD community. Bloom Elementary School was chosen as the eastside location and was designed to provide students with high levels of language proficiency, academic achievement, bi-literacy, and cross-cultural understanding.

It uses Spanish and English as the languages of instruction for both Spanish-speaking students who need to develop English fluency, as well as English-speaking students who will acquire Spanish as a second language.

The first cohort of students started as Kindergartners in 2016-2017. The program will continue to expand at this site until the students complete their 5^th grade year and continue on the TWBI pathway through middle school and high school. At graduation, they will receive the Arizona Seal of Biliteracy.
