Welcome and supply list

Welcome to U.S. History 8 at Village Christian Schools Summer Program!

I look forward to spending six weeks studying the history of our great nation together! On this blog you will find information about supplies, homework, and updates on work and projects in class. Please be sure to check it weekly.

In six weeks, we will be covering 17 chapters from the textbook, The American Journey, Building a Nation. Assignments will include geography, notes, assignments, projects (group and individual) and some tests.

Attendance: It is essential that you come each day to class, as each day of summer school is considered one week of the regular school year. As per VCS policy, students who miss more than three days in each semester (three weeks) will be dropped from the class without credit. Any questions, please contact me.

Supplies: Here is a list of supplies needed for class:

> 3 ring binder, 1-1 1/2 inch

> 5 tabbed dividers

> lined paper

> pens, pencils, one pen (color other than blue or black) for grading papers

> colored pencils

> 2 pkgs index cards

> 1 pkg. post-it sticky notes

If you have leftover supplies from the past school year, feel free to use them.
