due next week (2/9-2/13) and important update about these assignments

Please note that these assignments will not change due to snow days, so plan to keep up with the reading as it's outlined below.
*If you need to do any makeups on these assignments:  I do not expect you to have everything made up tomorrow, or even by the end of the week.  However, I will expect you to have what's due for Thursday and Friday's meetings and be caught up by the Monday after vacation for all the assignments to count for full credit.  It's your responsibility to show me any missed work.
