About Ms. Bonham

Notes to Students: Welcome to another year at Naples Classical Academy! I am am looking forward to walking you through our nations history, from the Civil War through the end of the Cold War. Under the homework tab you will find what the homework is each day. The class newsletter tab is where you will find what was completed in class. Helpful links is where you will find the syllabi as well as maps and timelines.

Education: From 2007-2011, I attended the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, ND. I graduated with my B.A. in Spanish and my B.S. in Education. I have taken additional courses in theology, scripture, logic & rhetoric as well as philosophy.

About Me: I was born in Michigan but grew up in Minnesota. I have also lived in North Dakota, Kentucky and obviously Florida. This will be my 10th year in education. I have taught 3rd grade up through 12th grade but have found me sweet spot to be middle school history. When I’m not at school I enjoy reading, cooking and being outside.

Homework
