Some housekeeping from a crazed few days

Early-release Friday, three-hour delay on Monday...  And then yesterday, I was home; I wasn't sick, just embroiled with putting our bathroom back together.  I would have rather been teaching, frankly, but life without the one bathroom in the house did not seem humane.

Regardless, here's the rest of the week and into next week for several classes:
~Latin 1--We were due to start the trickster myth this week, but the time's all but fled and we were talking about the Dii Inferni last week...  Switching up the trickster and death/rebirth deities.  Due dates for the next two weeks will change to:
  • 8 Feb--Death/rebirth deity rough draft due
  • 12 Feb--Death/rebirth deity peer edit
  • 15 Feb--Death/rebirth deity second draft due

~Latin 3--Reading log, research for the project AND whatever notes/translations you have made into your comp book for Friday.

~Latin 4--Remember to read chapter 13, "This Country of Silk," tonight and be sure that you've at least started thinking about your project for weekly log. 

~Myth--Here is website I got the myths packet from; again, it's not the best but...  You will find better tomorrow and Friday in the computer lab.  And also, remember that next week we will be down in the dance studio with Ms. Locke.  She says: "Dress in something comfortable to dance in.  No skirts.  Looser clothing preferred."  You will also need to take off your shoes...  So leave the combat books with super-Velcro straps at home.
