ANNOUNCEMENTS: HOMEWORK AND CLASSWORK

Monday, 2/26/2018

You are all responsible for classwork and homework, even if you were absent on the day these were assigned.  Our class blog makes clear what we did in class and what homework has been assigned. When there is no specific homework assigned, I expect you to study the vocabulary sets in Quizlet. Links to study sets also are posted in the blog.  As I have stated, you will not retain the vocabulary unless you study at least 15 minutes every night.  So, you always have vocabulary to study. You should also review frequently the notes in your notebooks.

Here is the link to all the Quizlet sets for our class: Quizlet sets for Latin I Spring 2018.  By the end of this week you should know the vocabulary for Chapter 1 and 2 of Ecce Romani and sets 1 and 2 of First Words in Latin. 

I will be entering grades into PowerSchool at the end of this week.
