Welcome to my website!
Welcome students, parents, and all others interested in learning about Ms. Pinyan's classes at QISS! I hope to keep this website as up to date as possible, so please keep an eye out for current unit topics and assignments, discussions, photographs, and more.

My name is Kelly Pinyan and this is my first year teaching at QISS. I am a Social Studies and Language Arts middle school instructor. I am currently teaching Grade 6, 8, and 9. Although I am new to China, I have spent some time teaching and traveling abroad. I spent two years as an ESL instructor in Seoul, South Korea. After that, I decided to teach the intellectually gifted back in the U.S.A. for one year before coming to Qingdao in July of 2013. Teaching is a true passion of mine. I am truly looking forward to spending the next year with this amazing group of students. I hope to create life-long learners who are sensitive communicators with the ambition of becoming global citizens of the world.

Announcements for Parents and Students:
Congratulations on the completion of the 2013-2014 school year. All of the students and parents worked hard to make this year a great one. Thank you for all of your support parents. And students, thank you for your hard work throughout the year. I hope everyone enjoys their summer and I'll see you back in Qingdao in August! Thank you for a great year parents and students!
