Latin II Vocabulary :: First Quarter

Following is a list of all new vocabulary we have learned this quarter. We will have a vocabulary test on Thursday, October 14. We have been reviewing, and will continue to review, these words.

Today I introduced numbers through 100. Latin numbers are a little tricky. First we have to memorize the new vocabulary and then you have to recognize the pattern. We will definitely keep working on this concept.

I am so proud of everyone's progress. It challenges and amazes me every day. Optime discipuli.
