Parent-Teacher Conferences are scheduled for this Friday, November 22.  Though I am happy to meet or have a phone conversation with anyone who has questions about their students' performance in Latin or Computers classes, I will be attending a technology workshop for Latin teachers.  If you feel the need to speak directly to me regarding your child's class work, please e-mail me so that we can schedule a time to speak.

Thank you!

November brings peacocks

November has Americans thinking of Thanksgiving and turkey.  The Romans did not know about turkeys, as they are a North American bird.  They did, however, enjoy peacock as a special entree for fine dining.  Our 3rd and 4th graders will be working on a "Thanksgiving peacock" and the myth about the metamorphosis the peacock underwent to gain the spots in its tail feathers.

I am eagerly anticipating the arrival of more wintery weather, as it will bring with Christmas and the chance to sing songs and carols in Latin!
