Quick Thoughts

Here are a few things from the first seven days of school:

1.  The district is still working on trying to get the Latin students in GCISD access to their e-books of our new textbook.  I hope this situation is resolved soon.

2.  My blog has pages for each individual class period.  On those pages, I am putting updates on what was done in class during that class.  Please make sure that you check that page for what we did in case you/your child was absent.

3.  Our first Latin Club meeting of the year will be Tuesday Sept. 5th at 4:15 PM in my room. Students from both high schools are welcome to join.  I understand that there are other extra curricular activities going on after school, so you may still join even if you can't come to the meeting. Just bring me $10 for your dues and you're in!  We will have a t-shirt eventually, but we will announce that information at a later date.

4.  This year, we will start having activities through the National Latin Honor Society.  Students who joined Latin Club during the 2016-2017 school year and achieved a score of 90 or better each of the grading periods were given a certificate of recognition at the end of last school year--that means they are members of the National Latin Honor Society!  Our first meeting will be on Tuesday Sept. 5th at 8:15 AM in my room.  Dues will be $5 and we will discuss some community service possibilities and also other activities at that time.

Lunch

If you have Latin as your "lunch" class, we will be taking A lunch, so you will go to lunch first and then come to class.

Supply List for the 2017-2018 School Year

Salvete, vos!  That's Latin for "Howdy, y'all!"  Here's the supply list for all Latin levels for the upcoming school year.  Please also remember to supply your student all the way through the end of the year!

• pens, pencils, a red/purple pen for grading, and a highlighter
• paper or a spiral
• folder or notebook to hold work and notes
• a Latin dictionary for home.  While there are online dictionaries available for use, they do not always provide the best definition or even give the definitions of common phrases.  
• 5 packs of 100 3x5 notecards
• one box of Kleenex

Donations to the classroom are always accepted but here are some needs that I know we'll have:

• colored paper
• box of ball point pens
• box of pencils, preferably non-mechanical
