Latin

Hey, I know I'm a day late on this post but at least I remembered to do it right?! ;)  Anyhow, Latin was yesterday and of course we had a ton of fun, went over the syllabus and such.

Here is what we get to do this year:

~Learn more vocab and grammar stuff
~Make Latin Mad Libs
~Storytime!! This is when we all listen to a cool story about Roman history and then translate it from Latin to English (we get the simplified version).  They usually involve heroes, missing appendages, and fire.
~Do little grammar videos to show next year's sixth graders
~Make a Latin Book as a class

AND FINALLY...
Dun-dun-dunnnnn

~Make a MOVIE about everything we have learned about ROMAN HISTORY!!!!

Am I too much of a Greek/Roman history nerd?  Because I find these things fascinating :D  Of course a contributing factor is that many of you know that in my spare time I randomly act out scenes from books/movies/etc with my friends and make videos starring my cousins.

And, of course, ME.  Haha :)

So of course everyone is in overdrive, and we all want to start rightawaypleasepleaseplease Miss Weight?!

Alas, we must wait.  But I shall be patient.

Oh, can't we start now?!?!

That's all for now, hope you have a good day at school, work, or home!

Happy Homeschooling!

Taming of the Shrew

So I went to go see the Taming of the Shrew performed by CalShakes with my friend.  I read the book and listened to an audio recording and all that, but the play still didn't really make sense.  So when I heard we were going to go see it, I was super excited (this was helped by the fact that I was going with one of my best friends :D).  Then, we got rained out--HALFWAY through the play!!!  I was so upset, but then I found out that I'm going with another friend!  So now I'm super super happy, because it was one of the best plays I have ever been to.  It was in a modern setting, which was definitely a plus.

I'll be back soon with pictures and interesting school stuff, hopefully...

Happy Homeschooling!
