Class Tuesday on the 28th has been cancelled

Hi all, CC will be cancelled this Tuesday due to the impending storm. When we return we will continue with week 3's information. We will make up the day at the end of this semester. I will be praying for all the families and please be safe. I will see everyone next Tuesday. Thanks!

Latin Update

Salve,

Here is a quick update on class today and plans for the week.  We are working on Lesson 3 this week.  Last week we worked on Lessons 1 and 2.  Today we were able to translate a paragraph together found on p. 318 of Henle II.

I will be following the Challenge II guide closely this year as to scheduled homework items.  The students are to use the weekly Latin schedule sheets sent home last week (paper copy) and also attached to one of the emails that went out last week. to organize their Latin studies for the week.  They may need some help at first planning out how to complete the items listed in the Challenge guide over the course of the week.

In addition to the items listed in the Challenge guide, I did add two additional items.  I sent home an article discussing a method of translation which I would like them to read and be ready to discuss for next class.  I also sent home a quiz on Lessons 1 and 2.  It is my desire that they look at the Quiz today or tomorrow so that they understand what the quiz will be like and what it is covering, but that they then give it to you, their parent, for safekeeping until Monday when they will take it at home.  Completed quizzes should be returned to me for grading on Tuesday.  Note, this may seem like a huge addition but the Challenge Guide has not actually scheduled ANY assessments except for the midterm and final.  I think it would be remiss to wait until then to give the students an assessment.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or feedback that you or your student has.  215-385-6975 or uscgrower@earthlink.net

Thanks so much,

Ruth Skwarek

Supplemental Henle Answer Key

Salve,

Quid agis?  Sum bene.  Gauderam scholae tuae hodie.

Here is the link to the  supplemental Henle answer key.  Unfortunately it is on back order.  But I would still go ahead and place the order.  We could even do a group order if you are interested.  Unfortunately it is pricey at $35 but it is useful for Henle 1 and 2 for those who have siblings in the other book.

Salve,

Magistra Skwarek
