Mr. Cuddy’s Calendar for December 2008

Greetings- and welcome to second trimester, this calendar should help you be prepared

for class in thought and materials. You are responsible for bringing a notebook and something to write with daily.  Be sure to write the assignments in your planner but be aware this calendar is a best guess in November and subject to change. Remember the more you put into it, the more you will get out of it. Have a great trimester. (History Day Information and Dates on a separate handout before winter break)
