Latin I:

There is no homework until the TEST next FRIDAY! Use this time to review your study guide and to learn vocabulary. REreading the stories in chapters 4 and 5 will help you with the translation part of the test. You can use the vocabulary handouts to make flashcards for yourself - find the words that are tricky to remember and put the English on one side, the Latin on the other. A few minutes (10 or less) with them every day will yield amazing results!!!

Click here for a copy of the vocabulary handouts.

Latin II:

There is a test next Wednesday on chapters 18 & 19. Main areas to study: 3rd declension adjectives, perfect tense forms (3rd person only) and vocabulary. Click here for the vocabulary handouts for chapters 18 & 19.

If you are someone who is working on declensions, your task tonight is to decline soror molesta and nostra ancilla.  Click here to check your work.
