The Writer's Block will meet on January 11th to finalize plans for our visting author. Randy Goding, a published author of three fiction books, will visit Nimitz to make a short presentation, take questions and critique our wrting samples on JANUARY 26th.

To find out more about his visit contact Susan Rice. Cookies and punch will be served!
I have a great deal of information on Content Reading Strategies available in my office. If you want/need any ideas on presenting/teaching a lesson in ANY content area I am happy to help.
My speciality is reading, however, I have had experience working with content area teachers and including reading strategies or "best practices" in the lessons.
If you want someone to team teach with you or "brainstorm" with you about a lesson please contact me at 5735 or in my office in the library.
Thre 9th grade academic teams are having a really good year and working hard to see that the students are successful. The AVID program is up and running. Ms. VArgesko and Ms. Cooper are doing a great job with this new program.
The Service Learing Grant is in the final phase of planning a day of service on January 18th here at NIMITZ. The organizers are expecting a large turnout of studetns and parents. Teachers are invited to attend or volunteer. The times are 9;00-2;00 with some activities being held inside and the recycling and Habitat For Humanity being held outside.
Coming up will be a list on the TOP TEN BOOKS our Nimitz students read!
