Reading Logs
We are working hard to get a free book from our book vending machine at the end of the 9 weeks. Each week, your child will bring several books home for you to read together. Please read the books with your child, write the books on the reading log and return the books inside the bag by Friday. When each page of the reading log is completed, your child will go to the treat box!! Our goal is 36 books!
About Me
Welcome! My name is Lydia Hindman. I am originally from Ft. Worth, Texas, but Prattville has been home for 30 years. I am married to Mark Hindman and have three grown sons, Caleb, Stephen and Daniel, who attended Autauga County schools. They are now an attorney, aerospace engineer in the U.S. Space Force and chemist! We are blessed to have 3 wonderful daughters-in-law, five grandchildren and another one coming in July! This is my 22nd year at Pine Level Elementary. Thank you for the privilege of teaching your child. I LOVE teaching children to read and helping them learn to LOVE reading and learning!
