Head's Up--IB US HISTORY

There will be a brief reading from the textbook Tuesday night. Just wanted to let you all know that since I told you there were no reading assignments until Wednesday night.

Also, for those of you missing class at the end of the week, the class will continue without you. We will be covering important content that will be on your next exam. Please make sure you are able to get the notes from a classmate. I will have most of the handouts you will need by Wednesday.

That is all.
