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, Third 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 ISTE Standards 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 Naldrett Elementary. I also direct a summer technology camp called Camp Infinity. Camp Infinity is for girls going into 5th-12th grade.
On a personal note, I love traveling to new and interesting places. I love to hike, kayak, snorkel and hike. My family has a goal of visiting all of the National Parks at some point!
In my spare time I enjoy hobby farming, painting, reading, and playing board games - especially Scrabble. Daisy and Speedy are our dogs and Spike is our bearded dragon. We also have four house cats named Tony, Monty, Lucy, and Jet. On our little farm, we have a flock of chickens and ducks and a barn cat named Barney.
