I am so excited to start my summer learning.  As an educator I know how important it is to continue being a life long learner to be able to be the best leader for Pinewood as well as set an example as a reader for all of our students.  In the photo you can see my stack of summer reading; journal articles and many books.  I will continue to post on the blog at least once a week this summer.  Part of my summer will be spent in China; I will be traveling with a group of instructors from Jenison representing our Jenison International Academy teaching for two weeks to elementary Chinese students.  I will share many of my experience here on the blog and am excited to share a peek at this corner of the world with Pinewood.

Please continue to encourage your students to read and track their reading minutes.  http://www.scholastic.com/ups/campaigns/src-2014

If you have online access use your log on if not use the NFL learning sheet that was sent home in Friday folders, all students who participate will receive a reward.  Students who want to share their learning please email me and I will post for them on the blog.  Currently Pinewood is in the top 500 schools in the nation for tracking our summer reading I would love to see that continue to improve as our students keep reading, reading, reading!
