Welcome to Mrs. Bigelow's AMS page! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

JUNE, 2008

This webpage has important information for student and parent concerning upcoming projects and weekly classroom work.  It notes homework assignments and important dates, which will include due dates for long-term assignments.  Please keep in mind that the dates could change depending on the amount of time needed in the classroom for learning activities related to assignments.  Students are reminded to continue to use their planbooks daily and to CHECK EACH NIGHT what is written in the planbook for work to be accomplished out of the classroom.  THIS WEB PAGE DOES NOT REPLACE THE PLAN BOOK WHICH WILL BETTER REFLECT DAILY WORK.
