Quarter 3, Week 1

 New Latin Practice Logs

We're trying out a new kind of practice log in the New Year! Here's what's changing:

• Instead of a table with blank lines for signatures, we have a grid with various kinds of Latin activities to do at home.
• Instead of parents signing every time a student practices,
• Students will initial a box in the grid when he or she has completed the activity, and
• Parents will sign once to verify the whole sheet.

The new Practice Logs are due on February 1 (for A and C classes) or February 2 (for B and D classes).

Please email me (kerry.lee@greatheartsnorthernoaks.org) with any questions.

On Monday and Tuesday of this week, 4th, 5th, and 6th graders are receiving a crossword puzzle study guide (due Wednesday or Thursday) for the upcoming test (***I gave 4B their crossword puzzle last Wednesday and instructed them to turn it in on 11/1***). These crossword puzzles are for a grade. Students can also get signatures for doing them (as they constitute vocabulary practice). Replacement crossword puzzles can be downloaded here:

Quarter 2, Week 1

Q2 Vocabulary Practice Log # 1

All grades (3-6) currently have vocabulary practice logs that the students (with few exception) should have received before Fall Break. The due date for this vocab practice log is 11/2 (for A and C sections) or 11/3 (for B and D sections). I am checking with the students this week to make sure they have the logs and understand the due date. For perfect homework grades, I am looking for 6 signatures from 3rd grade and 9 signature from grades 4-6. There are also extra credit spaces on the vocab practice log for signatures beyond the 6 or 9.

Q2 Vocabulary Tests

The students know this (and we are reviewing it in class), but on the day the vocab practice logs are due we will have our next test (for grades 4-6; no tests in 3rd grade, at least not until Q4). Our test dates for this quarter (pending final approval from the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade teams) are 11/2-11/3 and 12/8-12/9.

Quarter 1, Week 7

 3rd grade

I am giving the 3rd graders a new vocabulary practice log this week. This one has a very short turnaround - less than two weeks! It is due on 9/28 (for 3B and 3D) or 9/29 (for 3A and 3C). There are four slots, but Days 3 and 4 will be counted as extra credit. Do your best to get all four, though!

4th-6th grades

This week we are just reading and learning grammar. 4th grade is learning about the Genitive case, 5th grade about the Accusative case, and 6th grade about verb parsing and the Perfect tense.

Be studying for tests next week (9/28 and 9/29). The current vocabulary practice logs will be due on those days.

Quarter 1, Week 6

3rd Grade

This week we continue reading from chapter 1 of Lingua Latina per se Illustrata. We also will make our second set of flashcards while I tell the scholars part two of the ancient Greek creation story "Titanomachia" - the War of the Titans.

Our first vocabulary practice logs are due this Wednesday (3B and 3D) and Thursday (3A and 3C). If your scholar has lost his or her practice log, you can either:

1. Download a new one here, or
2. Simply send me a note telling me how many times your scholars has studied their Latin vocabulary in the last two weeks.

The list to study at home is the LL 1.1 list.

4th Grade

This week we are reviewing chapter 2 of Lingua Latina (which we originally read last year). Replacements for the current practice log can be found here, and replacement 4.1.2 lists can be found here. This vocabulary practice log is due on 9/28/22 (or 9/29, whichever day I see your scholar in class).

5th Grade

This week we begin chapter 2 of Cambridge Latin Course, which introduces us to the Accusative case.

5A is taking the 5.1.1 test on Tuesday, and I am passing back last week's tests to the other three sections. Replacements for the current practice log can be found here, and replacement 5.1.2 lists can be found here. This vocabulary practice log is due on 9/28/22 (or 9/29, whichever day I see your scholar in class).

6th Grade

This week we begin chapter 7 of Cambridge Latin Course, which introduces us to Perfect Tense stems other than the -v and -u types.

I am passing back last week's tests to the scholars. Replacements for the current practice log can be found here, and replacement 6.1.2 lists can be found here. This vocabulary practice log is due on 9/28/22 (or 9/29, whichever day I see your scholar in class).

Quarter 1 Week 4

3rd Grade (our first vocabulary practice logs, Greek myth)

This week (Wednesday and Thursday) I'll be sending home letters with the 3rd graders to explain our vocabulary practice logs. You can also find the letter here. I'll also be giving the students their first vocabulary practice logs. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email me.

Other than that, we're starting to learn about the Titanomachia, the ancient Greek story of the War of the Titans.

4th Grade (test this week, crossword puzzle homework, vocab practice logs due)

The 4th graders will have their first vocabulary test on Wednesday (4A and 4C) and Thursday (4B and 4D). I'm spending Monday and Tuesday preparing them for it. I'm also sending home a crossword puzzle as a study guide. Students need to write in the Latin word for the corresponding English clues.

Our first vocabulary practice logs are due this week. If your scholar lost his or her copy, you can download a new one here, or just write me note that says how many times in the last three weeks your scholar practiced their Latin vocabulary for at least 5 minutes.

5th Grade (coming to end of chapter 1)

In 5th grade we're finishing up chapter 1 in our textbooks, and my sense is that all the students are doing really well. We will have our first vocabulary test next week (9/8 for 5B and 5D, and 9/9 for 5A and 5C). That is also the day that our first vocabulary practice logs will be due.

6th Grade (imperfect tense, preparing for 6.1.1 test)

We're continuing to review verbs, turning our focus to the imperfect tense. We're making notes in class, and I am giving your scholars another review worksheet for homework (replacement copies can be downloaded here). We will have our first vocabulary test next week (9/8 for 6B and 6D, and 9/9 for 6A and 6C). That is also the day that our first vocabulary practice logs will be due.
