Pennsylvainia

We're back from another trip to Pennsylvainia. We found a toad and named it Pedro, we went to the Mr. Gilliland's place and we went home STRAIGHT IN THE EVENING! We had fun at the farm, but we miss being home. HOME SWEET HOME. Here is a pictures of it:

We are happy to be back from three weeks at the farm. See you later!

a trip to the Strawberry farm

Hi! It's me Benny! Last February we and the Porterfields were at the Strawberry farm! Zoe and I are the best of friends. We share a huge similar relationship: We have the same sense of humor, same want for self-responsibility, and we're always looking out for each other. We found an entire trailer of kittens! I wish I could keep one. They were so cute and cuddly. I hit the mother-lode on strawberries! I had a hard time carrying the basket!

My chess colection.

This is my favorite set because 1: it's made of glass and 2: it has a good "board". I also have a chess set hat dad brought all the way from greece.

It's a good set but Sadie will want to play with the pieces. I'm preaty greatful for dad for going to get the set. I got this one from blockbuster video and it's based on Piarates of the Carribian at world's end.

Again, Sadie will want to play with the pieces.

Odysseus at sea questions:

Because they would have jumped overboard and killed them self's!

Yes to put bee wax in his mens ears, but no to tying himself to the mast.

Because he set a bad example.

That was a good idea!

Salvete Latin Lovers!

Benny & Zoe!

Dust off your Latin books, and let's pick up where we left off in Chapter 2.  I'd like you to read 'The family says goodbye' on p. 17-18 again to remember where we left Flavius & co. the last time we saw them, and then read Grasp the Grammar at the top of p.19.  We've already discussed adverbs, so this is a review.  You guys will then hunt for adverbs in the story you'll have just read on p.17-18.  Benny, please find all the adverbs you can in the odd-numbered boxes, and Zoe, you do the evens.  Post your answers, please, because we'll be sharing our work as much as possible.  After that, I'd like you to write 5 sentences in Latin with adverbs -  be sure to use different verbs and adverbs in each one or the practice won't be much help to you.  Finally, please read 'Odysseus at Sea' on p. 19.  Think about what Odysseus did.  Was it a good idea?  Was he being a good leader?  What would you have thought if you were one of his men?

Benny, see if you can get your hands on an Asterix comic book (in English) at the library, but not Asterix the Gaul, since we're going to try to translate that one from Latin, and it won't be much of a challenge if you've got the English staring you in the face.  Familiarize yourself with the characters and premise of the stories, so that you'll have some idea of what's going on when we start the translations.  Meanwhile, Zoe and I will try to find our copy of Asterix Gallus, which is MIA.  

Let's check in on Thursday with Minimus Secundus to see where we are, and Benny, if you can find an Asterix book by Friday and start reading it over the weekend, that would be most excellent.
