First Form Latin, Year 2
I continue to be well please with how all my students are doing with the review. We start new material this week, but we will never stop reviewing, so there will always be a review aspect to your homework. This week, you will need to review pages 36 and 37 (Units I & II Review) for a review test (more like a quiz, but with a test grade) on Friday.

Shurley English 6 for August 30th
We had a great first day on Friday! I enjoyed seeing “old” faces and meeting “new” ones. The homework assignment for Chapter 1 is fairly light, because there is neither a test nor writing assignment. Also, there are no practice sentences this week! For this week complete vocabulary using the method I taught you in class. Refer to Reference #2 if you have forgotten. Make sure to keep all your vocabulary in one place in your notebook. There is a workbook exercise (Ch. 1, Lesson 5, Practice) to complete. I do not require the journal entries, but your parents might, or you just might want to keep a journal yourself. …
