Since Target & Staples are starting to run their Back to School sales here is a list of supplies you'll need for my class: 2 5 subject spiral bound notebooks (one for the Fall and one for Spring) - note this is a change from other years!! I recommend this one - it is more expensive but actually stays together - [] Highlighters Blue and / or Black pens but also another color for correcting papers / editing notes Color Pencils Post-its in various sizes
 * School Supplies**:

America Before Columbus - []
 * Podcasts** - You may need to join to access the 2nd and 3rd podcasts - it is a legimate organization with great resources!

King Phillip's War - []

Salem Witch Trials - []

Here is the list of available College Classes on Campus for Fall 2011 -

2011-2012 Summer Assignment - Please note that the on-line version of the textbook is missing some pages - this should not affect your ability to get the main points and ideas about what the chapters are about. Be sure and look at the supplement aspects: the pictures, maps, charts, Makers of America, Varying Viewpoints and Examining the Evidence are all parts of the textbook you need to be familiar with. Good news I have been given a new website that many of you will find valuable not just for APUSH but all your AP classes this coming year and beyond - []. The textbook section will help fill in the blanks missing on the on-line version of the American Pageant and will really help with the Colonial Regions assignment. Take some time to explore all this link has to provide!! Another good digital textbook (general information but good stuff) - [].

I have added the chapter notes and vocabulary for Chapters 1 - 3 to the Homework page on the wiki - this should be very useful to you!

I will be posting discussions above throughout the summer so be sure and click on the option "contact me when this page updates" so you don't forget to check-in once in a while :)!
