Each year we test our third graders on their math and social skills through creative student-run business projects. This fun and successful activity came together thanks to an idea that third grade teacher Sheika Luc brought with her from her teaching years in New York City. Students come up with their own businesses and gain knowledge about trading, saving, competition, maintaining a budget, personal relationships, and of course making change! More

Because I grew up in academia during the bourgeoning of the Internet, technology has always been at the forefront of my teaching as well as in my life.

The mere fact that so many parents, former parents, and alumni/ae gathered to honor both current and past faculty is an indication of the admiration these constituents share for the BB&N faculty. More
