Finish Visual Latin (VL) lessons 11-13. You will have a quiz Friday that covers lessons 1-13.  Please, for your own sakes, review, review, review grammar concepts and vocabulary that we have covered.  If you are having to look up a word that is not in the vocabulary box for that lesson, then you don’t know the vocabulary well enough. Text me if you have any questions.

Macrae was all by himself on Friday, and I’m sure he’ll be glad to see Nate back! We completed chapter 3, lesson 1, and we reviewed how to write a three-point paragraph (lesson 5). For this week, please complete lessons 2-4 and write the three-point paragraph in lesson 5. Don’t forget that each Daily Gram completed (up to 6 per week) earns you an extra point on the weekly test. Have a wonderful Labor Day!

I do not require the journaling assignments that…

Well done to all my discipuli latini (Latin students} on your first day of class!  You were very respectful and worked hard.  Therefore, your homework load is lighter! In class we worked on parts of lesson 2-4.  Review this material and finish all assignments we didn’t get to in class.  Even if you can do this easily all in one day, try to spend a little time each day reviewing the grammar concepts and vocabulary.  It is MUCH BETTER to practice your Latin EVERYDAY! You will have a quiz on Friday that covers lessons 1-4.  P.S.  Can you tell that discupuli latini is “plural and masculine”? P.S.S.  You always use masculine…
