Dear SNCSS Members,
Greetings to everyone as we
begin the 2007-2008 school year! As we settle into our daily school
routines, it is time to get SNCSS off and running. The year ahead
holds many great opportunities for Southern Nevada social studies
teachers.
First off, we will be holding
our
Fall Social on Wednesday, October 24th
from 4:30-6:30 at McMullan’s Irish Pub. While we enjoy great food
and drinks provided by Nancy Kjenstad of Houghton-Mifflin, we will
be discussing many great opportunities, giving away prizes, and
testing our minds with historical trivia.
Another great opportunity
awaits SNCSS members as the NCSS National Conference will be on the
west coast this year. Beautiful San Diego, CA is the conference
locale and the dates are November 30-December 2. Conference
information can be obtained at
www.ncss.org.
Lastly, SNCSS will be joining
UNLV’s Literacy Team and hosting a spring Literacy and Social
Studies Conference. April 11-12, 2008 will bring fabulous guest
speakers, K-12 teacher presenters, and a plethora of resources for
area literacy and social studies educators.
On a personal note, my goals
this year as President of the Southern Nevada Council for Social
Studies are to increase membership and provide a variety of
professional development opportunities to enhance social studies
education in Nevada. I look forward to working with all of you and
making the 2007-2008 school year one of the best.
Best,
Karlye
