Week 2 grace period. If you have not finished the end-of-week assignments from Week 2, you can do that today, or you can do that on Tuesday morning. Normally the grace period would be on Monday morning until noon, but because of the holiday, the grace period for finishing up Week 2 will be Tuesday morning until noon. Here's a link to the previous Week 2 announcements.

ABOUT LABOR DAY
Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. (U.S. Department of Labor)

Here is a U.S. Postage stamp from 1956 in honor of the holiday: Labor is life.

And for a video, here's a special tribute to the hard-working farmers of India: Saccha Mitr (True Friend) - A Salute To Our Farmers.
