I can't believe it is December already.   A very fun culture day is about to be had by all!  The semester has flown by.

The Latin I students are starting chapter 10 - verb conjugations and the present tense.  They can do it!!!

The Latin II students are in pronoun land.  Hurray for personal and reflexive pronouns.  We will be watching the chariot race scene from Ben Hur as Cornelia, Sextus, Marcus and Eucleides have finally found their way to the Circus Maximus!

The Latin III students have very little grammar to go.  They are masters at the imperfect and pluperfect subjunctives.  The Baths chapter has been way too much fun.  Sextus is about to have his one shining moment.

The AP students have finished all 9,000 words of Caesar and are proceeding with The Aeneid by Virgil.  What a ton of translating has been done!  Congratulations.

We have 29 people on the trip to Italy and France next May.  How wonderful!

IWhat a joy for me to have so many students this year and to have so much fun. Each day is full of laughter and light bulb moments.

Blessings for the holiday season of 2012 and for the new 2013.
