Salvete, discipuli discipulae parentesque!
It's another new year of learning, and it's going to be a good! I can feel it in my bones.
Vocabulary Practice Logs
By now, parents of 4th through 6th graders should already have received a letter from me explaining how our primary ongoing homework assignment - vocabulary practice logs - will work. If you have not yet reviewed that letter and sent back to me the signed slip at the bottom of the letter, please take some time to do so now. Your scholars and I need your help to keep them on track in their Latin practice at home, which is a key component of success in language. We are partners in the philological success of your scholars.
In case you do not have the letter, you can view it here.
Parents of 3rd graders, feel free to read the letter as well, though I will be sending home to you a modified form of it in the coming weeks. We will start vocabulary practice logs after I send this letter home to you with your scholars.
Scholars in the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades are receiving this week their first vocabulary lists and vocabulary practice logs. Very soon I will have links to these documents on this site, so check back soon. I am giving the scholars permission to make their first set of flashcards at home, dividing them up over two nights and earning two signatures on their practice logs for this week.
The first vocabulary lists of the year are largely (if not exclusively) review, so it is likely that your scholars have flashcards from previous years for these words. If you scholars want to locate these flashcards and include them in their current set, I am happy for that time spent to qualify for a signature on their practice log.
Remember that one signature a week can be earned by watching Latin music videos on my YouTube channel, "Dr. Lee's Latin Class".
Quarter 1 Schedules
Later this week I will post syllabi with schedules of due dates for assignments and tests. So again, check back here in a day or so.
