This year is going great! We are making great progress towards our academic goals, and we are on track to complete them by the end of the year. My students are very excited about our new entrepreneurship program. We received a grant to purchase 12 Lego Mindstorm sets and 10 new laptops for use with our middle school students as well as lots of other materials that will help to make our children into the future leaders of our community. Lego Mindstorms focuses on engineering, computer programing, creative thinking, and problem solving. We have also purchased some business simulations from Goventure.net that will allow our students to learn and practice business skills in a unique and fun way. We are still working on raising funds for our student's proposed greenhouse and chicken coop idea. Through donations we have made $132 of our needed $350 startup cost. This is a student lead business idea that we are interested in and they have come up with a responsible and manageable business plan to see this through. This will be completely student lead, so please encourage your students to see this through. Please let me know if you are interested in donating. 8/6/13 I am so excited that I will be teaching Stonebridge's first ever graduating class! This year I will be moving up to teach 7th and 8th grade. Last year my students had a very successful year, and by the end of the year they proved to me that they are ready to take on even bigger challenges. I have decided that this class is ready to begin pre-algebra and algebra for math. This will be very challenging for all of our students, but I know that they are up for it. This year we will be beginning to learn physical science. I have a Minor in chemistry from NSU and science in general is a strong passion of mine, and many of my students have told me that it is becoming infectious. We have many aspiring engineers and doctors in the class, so I have some really great activities planned to encourage those interests. Our students here at Stonebridge Academy are exceptional in so many different ways. It is really an honor to get to work with and encourage the future leaders in our community. I know that this year is going to be great!
