About
Welcome. I am Wendy Brandal, one of Anchor Bay School District's STEM - Technology teachers. I have been an Anchor Bay teacher since 2000. I have taught Technology, Second Grade, Fourth Grade, and Tech/STEM. My mission is to help students take joy in creative problem solving using technology and the engineering design process.
Your child will alternate between Technology and STEM class by quarter; starting with Technology. In Technology class, we guide instruction by utilizing the Macomb Intermediate School District (MISD) course 21 Things for Students. In STEM, students work through the inquiry and design processes as they experience the activities, projects, and engineering problems of their Project Lead the Way PLTW modules.
In addition to teaching, I run a variety of clubs at my buildings including Green Team at both Lighthouse and Naldrett Elementary.
On a personal note, I am married with an adult son. We love traveling to new and interesting places. I love to hike, kayak, snorkel and hike. We have a goal of visiting all of the National Parks at some point!
In my spare time I enjoy painting, read, and play board games - especially Scrabble. Daisy and Speedy are our dogs, we have two house cats named Tony and Monty, a barn cat named Lucy, a bearded dragon named Spike, and a flock of chickens and ducks.
