Join Us for Teach-In at Pinewood Elementary!

We would love to have you participate in Teach-In on November 19th!

What is Teach-In?

Teach-In is an opportunity for community members, parents, and professionals to visit classrooms and share their careers, talents, hobbies, and experiences, inspiring students and helping them make real-world connections to learning.

Whether you share about your career, a special skill, a hobby, or a life experience, your presentation can make a lasting impact on our students.

What to Expect:
Presentation slots are available between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., and we are happy to work around your schedule.

Presentations are typically 20–30 minutes and are delivered to approximately 40 students at a time.

Volunteers may choose to present to one group or multiple groups during their visit.
Once you register, a team member will contact you to coordinate a schedule and match you with an appropriate grade level or classroom.

Become a part of Pinewood Elementary’s Teach-In and help inspire the next generation through your unique experiences, talents, and perspective.

🎨🖼️ Second Grade Takes on the Art World! 🖼️🎨

Our second graders enjoyed a wonderful field trip to the Orlando Museum of Art! From exploring beautiful works of art to discovering new forms of creativity and expression, our scholars had an exciting opportunity to bring learning to life outside the classroom.
