Good afternoon, Scholars! Today, we will establish our US History notebooks, a daily resource for all our classwork and learning. Each notebook will feature a class color for easy identification, and specific instructions for the first pages will be provided. This includes a personal dedication, table of contents, and a title page for our first unit, "Exploration and Colonization." You will also have the opportunity to customize your cover with magazine cutouts. Let's make this journal an essential tool for your learning journey!
