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…

I will not be posting assignments on this website. I will send out weekly emails with assignments and announcements.

Every chapter, the students will be expected to complete the study guide and grade it themselves, or parents can grade it and review the answers with the students.

One other thing, for the end of the year program your student was assigned a portion of John 1:1-5 to memorize in Latin.  They should be working on this daily.  They…
