• They (and you) will notice that certain letters in our English alphabet are missing.
• For "j", use "i"
• "u" and "v" look exactly the same
• For "w", write two "u" characters

Distance Learning Week 1

Salvete, parentes discipulique!

I am working to make sure the amount of Latin work I assign fits within the 15 minute time slot. This is surprisingly difficult! If this week is too densely loaded (especially 5th and 6th grade), focus your efforts on the translation work.

Other than that, just a couple of notes:

3rd Grade

I forgot to include a handout with the numbers. We've been practicing these numbers for several weeks, but even so it might be nice to have them available in a handout. Click below for just such a handout:

• Week 1 Numbers List

4th Grade

For some reason, the scan of the text I sent home for the scholars to translate is printing out unreadably small. Click below for PDFs of each day's translation work.

• Week 1 Day 1
• Week 1 Day 2
• Week 1 Days 3-4

PLEASE NOTE! - Caecilius, Metella, Quintus, Lucia, Clemens, Grumio, and Cerberus are all personal names, so they don't need to be translated.

5th and 6th Grade

It is possible, especially for the 6th grade readings, that the scholars may not have all the vocabulary committed to memory (even though they really should!). If your scholars don't have their Latin textbooks at home, and so cannot consult the glossary, here are two options for you:

1. Use a print Latin dictionary, if you have one. If you don't have one, I recommend you get one, such as this one from Amazon.com.
2. An online tool, such as wiktionary.org (make sure to scroll down to the "Latin" entry, if the word shows up in multiple languages). Google Translate is hit and miss in its quality - especially for phrases and sentences - but you might try it for individual words.
