Latin Update – March 31
Salvete parentes!
It came to my attention that the word search on the back side of the Latin worksheet that was sent home was a little tricky, so I created a quick video explanation to help students get started. You can view it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ioCa4BnglV-A0iSfc9Npe_ezLMbToQgN/view?usp=sharing. Hopefully that helps! If not, please feel free to reach out to me and I will do my best to coach your student through it remotely!
Blessings,
Mrs. Maddox
