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. Now that I am a thirtysomething, there is a significant age difference between me and my students, but I would like to think that I can still find a way to reach them in meaningful and reflective ways without sacrificing my integrity or that of my discipline.

What a delight it was to see so many in our community at our recent event to celebrate the tradition of teaching excellence at BB&N. When we gather at such events, there is a genuine level of excitement at the opportunity to visit with friends across our three campuses and to appreciate what a special school community we have here. 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.
