What in the world, you ask? Work over the summer?? Trust us, this will make the beginning of Latin I-B so much easier.
There are two ways to go through this material. First, you could go over it bit by bit throughout the summer. Or, even better, wait a while. Then, in August, refresh your brain with some Latin. The added benefit is that you won't forget everything you have reviewed before school starts!
So, what's in it for you, you ask? Besides the obvious joy that Latin
provides for you, we offer extra credit to those students who complete
this work. Turn in the Parental
Verification Sheet on the first day of school (required) to earn your
extra credit.
