October 2011

I can't believe it is already October!  You all are working very hard and the progress is amazing!  The Latin Club t-shirts are here and the World Language picnic was so much fun.

We will be going to the Corn Maize in October and having even more fun.

The Latin I students are learning infinitives and noun/adjective agreement.  As usual, the touchdown day was a hit.  My spiral wasn't half bad this year.

The Latin II students are finishing up a unit and have learned all 6 tenses.  Congratulations!  The Cornelius family is in Rome and starting new and wonderful adventures there.

The Latin III students finally made it through present participles and are learning a new infinitive tense!  They are working hard and the translations are getting longer and longer. 

Our guest speaker at the end of September was awesome!  Learn those word roots and see what happens.

Don't forget - Quarterly Projects are due on October 17th!!!!  E-mail sentences to me by Friday, October 14th for a guaranteed review.  Check out the website for requirements:

Welcome to September. All the classes are making wonderful progress.

The Latin I class is about to meet Marcus and Sextus. The Latin II class has the Dative case mastered and is moving onto more verb tenses. The Latin III class has memorized cardinal, ordinal and Roman numbers. The Latin IVs are translating about Constantine.

I wonder what and when the culture day will be in September!

Keep up the good work.

I have requested information about a possible 2013 tour to Italy, Monaco and Nice, France. Stay tuned for more details and save up. The trips are just fantastic experiences and all are welcome to come.
