Happy New Year and welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful break; before we know it the semester will be over. We will be getting through Chapter 9 before the end of the semester. I hope you're rested and ready to go in 2012!

U.S. History= A new Study Guide was passed out in class at the start of this week for Chapters 7 & 8, it is due on Tuesday, 1/10 (for odd periods) and Wednesday, 1/11 (for even periods). Don't forget that your Alphabet Soup Can Project is due that same day (it's worth 10% of your semester grade so be sure to do a good job).
