The kids decorated, and we ate Togo's sandwiches. Get it, Togo - toga?
They had a recital. Each student had a quote in Latin to memorize, translate, and to present a short biography on the author of the quote.
Group photo! Woohoo! We all had lots of fun with Latin this year. The boys also learned a lot. Even though Latin is a "dead" language - it is so helpful for understanding word origins, meanings and roots.
You can see that Lily got into the spirit of things with her toga as well!
We have had many activities ending already for this year. I feel relieved to be honest with you, with this gradual clearing of my plate. Phew - it feels good to lessen the responsibilities each week as summer approaches! Matthew took his standardized tests nearly a month ago (STAR testing) which is required of him since we are using a charter school's independent study program as our homeschooling "umbrella." So in a way (don't tell the kids), I am kind of in summer mode already - longing for the beach and looser schedules!
