    Nassau School and PBIS

    For the past year, a group of Nassau staff have been working with our consultant Jody Hoffman to bring Positive Behavioral Intervention Supports to our school.  All Nassau students know that Nassau Gators are Respectful, Responsible, Safe, and Caring.  Students are acknowledged for demonstrating these behaviors by being awarded tickets and at predetermined intervals, school wide celebrations take place to reinforce these behaviors.  Our newly designed Gator will show students how well they are doing by displaying the total number of acknowledgements.  Way to go Gators! 

    International Reading Association

    Each year, the International Reading Association asks seven regional teams of teachers and librarians to choose the best children's trade books based on classroom and library try-outs with children.  Here are the 2010 selections as they appear in The Reading Teacher.  For annotation on each book, click the link below and go to 2010 Teachers' Choices.

     Reading Comprehension

    This  link  provides much information regarding reading comprehension for grades k-3. Many of these strategies are being used at Nassau School by our classroom teachers. I think you'll find some of the language familiar. Happy reading!

     Nassau Gators are "respectful, responsible, safe, and caring".
