We had another good week in class. We began the class with a game of Bananagrams. Working in teams, they created Latin words from the letter tiles. Wonderfully, both teams had over a dozen words.
Following our short game, the students took a quiz on the 1st and 2nd conjugation verb endings and 1st and 2nd declension noun endings. We are now at a point where we need to be memorizing vocabulary and endings. For some, this will be harder. That's the way it is with languages. As I've watched my children learn Latin, I've seen that some catch on to a language intuitively, while others learn it in a more traditional manner.
We will continue to have weekly quizzes. Next week, the quiz will be on verbs: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th conjugation endings AND verbs from the first 4 chapters.
We learned from this week's story just why Sextus is a pest .. no mother and his father is away on business in Asia. That still does not make Cornelia happy, nor does it keep Sextus from being annoying.
By the way, I found a "Tribute to Ecce Romani" music video on youtube. It's amazing what two boys and a guitar can do! And of course, we have the video that we watched in class about Sextus.
Assignments for Next Week:
