LATIN I
We had a fun week in Latin, talking about singular and plural and learning some new vocabulary words. We are also beginning to learn the Latin Table Blessing. We worked on memorizing the first two lines. I just love when students recognize words from Spanish or English that come from the orignal Latin word.
