The past few weeks, we've studied history and now we're back to the nitty-gritty of Latin grammar. We must mov at a quickened pace in the weeks to come. Winter is coming on. From this point on, we shall continue our Latin lessons without interruption for the rest of the semester.

  1. Pray the Pater noster
    1. NOTE: Put away iPads after bell rings.
  2. Study for a bit. 
  3. Cap IX Grammar Quiz
  4. Remember our greetings and intros in Latin. This is what we can say to each other: 
    1. Salvete, discipuli! (says the the teacher to the students, whose faces are happy and shining with enthusiasm to learn, without irony in their countenances or weakness in their bones.)
    2. Salve, Magister! (says the the students to the teacher, whose heart is warmed with the thought that his life is not wasted in service to unappreciative and apathetic youths).
    3. Quid agis? (Literally "What are you doing?" but figuratively, "What's up, holmes?" or "What's the word, yo?")
    4. Sum...bene (well), tristis (sorrowful), optime (great), iratus (angry), fessus (tired), laetus (happy).
    5. Valete, discipuli. (says the teacher to the students as they leave)
    6. Vale, magister. (says students to the teacher as they leave)
  5. Do Pensum C of Cap 2 
  6. Read together: Cap III of Lingua Latina
  7. Review HW: 
    1. Study for Cap III vocab Quiz next week.
    2. Be perfect.
