Week10: Oct 28th–Nov 1st

Highlights for the week: 

• View the BMS Public Calendar for this weeks events!
• Tip: Use ctrl+F and enter the date (like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.) to jump quickly to the Blog entry for today!
• Some notes for Parents/Guardians who view this Blog:
  • Everything we do in this class is listed on this Blog (so students who are absent can easily find what they’ve missed and even complete it while they are absent!)
  • Nearly every assignment can be completed at home or anywhere with an internet connection (use the Paint program or a Google Drawing rather than ‘Interwrite’ where you see it on this Blog)
  • Friday’s are makeup days so students who have trouble completing assignments have this extra time every week to get caught up!
  • You can see examples of every project we do at this Public Examples Folder Link
