Believe me when I say that  snow days are a wonderful thing, but we all have to realize that the work missed has to be made up. This gets back to the pay me now or pay me later syndrome, which very few people ever choose later. Here are some items that need to be completed and turned in to be graded ASAP:

1. Anglo-Saxon characteristics worksheet

2. 30 questions over Beowulf

3. 1st essay- 3 Accomplishments in Your Future

4. Vocab definitions for 2nd week
