Here we are in November already!  October just flew by.  The Latin I students are getting ready for the chapter7  tests followed by their very first unit test.

The Latin II students are learning the 4th and 5th declensions - no more after that!

The Latin III students have finally gotten to the chapter on the subjunctive mood - fun times for all.

Mike and Johanna are translating all about Julius Caesar.

We had so much fun at the corn maze and will have movie night on November 4th.  Of course, we will watch A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum. 

Thanks to Mitchell for bringing in tissues for extra credit.  I appreciate it.

Don't forget to post your extra credit to the blog!  Grades look very good and we want to keep them there.

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.

Welcome to Latin class! I am looking forward to the 2011-2012 school year with the best students ever. Latin will help you in all of your other classes, this year and future years. We will learn the language of course, but then also have the opportunity to learn about culture, religion, philosophy, government, history, oratory, rhetoric, astronomy, and many other topics - even military strategy. Your vocabulary will increase and your scores on standardized tests will be phenomenal.

If you know of anyone else you might be interested in the class, please let them know we have openings! It would great to have a few more students.

Let me know if I can help you with anything. Getting behind in class usually isn't a good thing!

Get ready for our first culture day!
