January 6th

Salve Omnes, 

   I am excited for our second term to begin on January 6th. The information you should be prepared to discuss is the content from my most recent post on the Second Conjugation and the explication of the tenses. We will have a quiz on January 13th over that material. Please bring the handout to class!

Gratias tibi! 

2nd Conjugation & Consideration of Tenses

     Hi y'all, on Friday, we will have an in-class discussion of the handout on verbs. Rather than having a written quiz, you will be graded based on your participation in class. This includes evidencing your ability to translate vocabulary words as well as conjugating verbs. Also, your general behavior in class will be reflected in your grade.
     Also, please print and bring in the attached handout as well as your 1st Conjugation handout from last week.

Gratias tibi!

1st Conjugation Verbs

Hi all,

Congratulations on an excellent performance on your exam. Moms, be looking for an email from me including your student's grade in the class as well as tips for the future.

This week, we will move to verbs! To prepare for class, please make flashcards for the five verbs on the vocabulary list. Also, print and bring in a copy of this handout to class on Friday.

Thank you!

Test Preparation

In class next Friday, we will have our first exam. As discussed in class, you are responsible for all the material we have covered thus far. I have attached a vocabulary list from which I will be deriving the test. I may ask for the English, Latin, or declension of any of these nouns or adjectives. Also, I will ask for a definition of 'noun' and 'adjective.' I am not too picky about wording. Thanks—good luck!

Master Vocabulary List

1st and 2nd Declension Adjectives

Hi all, happy break!
     Before next class, please read this handout over and make flashcards for the vocabulary. When we return, we will spend the next week studying for your first exam, which will cover first and second declension nouns and adjectives.
             Thank you!

     Also, I will post a video later this week with more pronunciation instruction.

2nd Declension Vocabulary

Salvete Omnes, 

Quaeso (please) memorize the attached vocabulary this week. Also, please print out and fill out a worksheet with the declension of each vocabulary item. The in class quiz will feature two latin words for which you will provide the english meaning and decline each fully.

1st Declension—Nouns their jobs

Behold! In week two, beginning 09/23, we will continue to work on the handout from last week. We are going to focus on declensions—how they work, how to memorize them, why they exist, what a noun is, et cetera. We will have a homework assignment for this next week, for which you will decline the nouns on your vocabulary list. We will work on this in class, and I will probably send out  an answer key. Also, if you our your parents have questions, the quickest way to reach me is via email, which is audrey.grissom@gmail.com.

BRING TO CLASS: 1st declension handout, your handwritten flashcards, and a pencil. 

Glory to Jesus Christ!

1st Declension—Pronunciation

Hi everyone, remember that your homework is to make flashcards for each vocabulary word on the handout. Please bring these to class along with your handout. Also, read over your handout out loud several times to practice pronouncing Latin words. I made the video below to help with pronunciation. I look forward to class on Thursday, when we will talk more about nouns and the various jobs they can do.
