No class today,Wed Dec 5

Dear 401 students,

I'm feeling a bit under the weather , and so I won't make it to class today.

Those of you that are ready to present their skits tomorrow, please do.
The ones that are having great difficulties, and were counting on my help, can wait to present theirs on Tuesday . But let's have as many do theirs tomorrow, as scheduled, since Tuesday is also a day to present the papers.
I hope that you're also reviewing the last few chapters.
Don't forget that you need to memorize your Alphabet and numbers.

Shukrun

Skits and extra credit paper

Ahlan,

A reminder that your extra credit paper is due for class presentation on December 11. So those of you that have not yet talked to me about it but are interested, please do that soon.

401 students,

I hope that you've already picked your partners for the skits. There will be some time dedicated to questions and help with that in class on Tuesday. So come with ideas.

I look forward to both the presentations and skits. Our last couple of weeks are going to be fun, inshaa'Allaah.

Also, to those of you that have Al-Kitaab, please bring it to class, as we may at some point transition to it.
