    Shurley English 6 for September 4th

    This week, you will be finishing Chapter 2. From Lesson 1, the only assignment left is to finish the activity on page 17 of the Teacher’s Manual (TM). Lesson 2 is completed. You will need to do Lessons 3-5 at home. Bring your completed work (practice sentences, vocabulary, workbook practice, daily grams, and test) to class on Friday. There is no writing assignment this week. Parents: it would be helpful if tabs were placed on the current assignments in the workbook, practice sentence book and daily gram book, so the students can quickly turn to the last assignment completed. Thank you 🙂 If you have any questions, text me at…

    Lingua Latina for September 4th

    Kudos to my discipuli latinae! Another great week! This week finish what we didn’t complete of VL Lessons 7-10 and complete VL Lesson 11 on your own. (Of course, text me if you have any questions.) I will hand out a test next Friday. This needs to be proctored and signed by a parent and returned the following week. The test is closed book/notes/internet/parent/friend/etc. The test will include vocabulary for VL Lessons 1-10 (I will give the Latin; you will give the English.) and the grammar concepts from VL Lessons 1-10. Of course, I mentioned a bonus worth 5 points in class last Friday. Have a great week!

    Shurley English 6 for August 28th

    Friday went very well. Both Beth and Colbie shared great long term and short term goals! The only item needing completion in Chapter 1 is Vocabulary Words #2. Students can find the vocabulary on page 7 of the reference section of the Student Book. Please follow the Reference 2: Six-Step Vocabulary Plan on page 9 of the Student Book. One other thing, don’t forget that I’ll check up to 6 Daily Grams (DG) on Friday that will count as extra credit on the first test! In other words, this is a very light week for English class this week! Enjoy!
