School Supply List for the 2018-2019 School Year

Here is the supply list for the upcoming school year.  Please try to make sure that you have all the materials for the entire school year.  We keep working through May.

• pens, pencils, red/purple pen for grading, highlighter.
• paper or spiral.
• folder or binder for notes and assignments; a binder probably works best.
• A Latin dictionary for home use; while there are online dictionaries available for use, they do not always provide the best definitions for a word or even the definitions of common phrases/idioms.
• 6 packs of 100 3x5 notecards for vocabulary flash cards.
• one box of Kleenex.

Latin III PAP students will be reading Vergil's "Aeneid" in the spring in English.  I do have a classroom set of the books, but students will not be able to write in them or make notations.  If you would like to have your own copy (recommended if you are considering taking AP Latin or if you like to take lots of notes as you read), you can find the book here:
https://www.amazon.com/Vergils-Aeneid-Hero-War-Humanity/dp/0865165963/ref=sr_1_1/136-3154161-9912562?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1533160087&sr=1-1&keywords=vergil%27s+aeneid+bolchazy

Latin II PAP and Latin III PAP students will be reading excerpts of Edith Hamilton's "Mythology" throughout the school year as well.  I am working on getting a class set for use during class time, but students wishing to have their own copy (again for note taking, etc) can find a copy of the book here:
https://www.amazon.com/Mythology-Timeless-Tales-Gods-Heroes/dp/0446574759/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1533160215&sr=1-1&keywords=edith+hamilton+mythology

If you are looking to donate things to my classroom, I can always use:
extra packs of notecards
pens
pencils
highlighters
colored paper for quizzes, special assignments
