A blog entry I came across which goes into detail about not only the importance of Latin, but some ideas about homeschooling with Latin as well. Something we here at Romae want to help with. Although it might seem that our love affair with Latin came from our attachment to Classical-style education methods, my own love affair with Latin predates our homeschooling.

For fun, we sung some traditional Christmas carols in our Latin class. It was a lot of fun embarrassing myself in front of my students with my American Idol-worthy renditions of these songs. Take a look at these songs and share them with others! You will be showing how Latin is still relevant while also putting a fun spin on the tradition. And, just a suggestion, you might want to find the … [Read more...]

I prefer to create group projects where students can teach one another and also learn the … [Read more...]
I recently created a survey to gauge the interest level in Latin. Anyone can take it, but I am predominantly focusing it on my students at my school. Once I have all the students vote, I will gather the results and post them here for all to see. I will use the data to gauge what I need to improve upon as a teacher as well as where I need to push more of my classroom focus towards. It will be … [Read more...]
I am a little slow, but I recently just discovered an excellent resource that could be used to supplement Latin courses - Vicipaedia! It is Wikipedia completely written in Latin. So, not only can you read it, but your students can also create and edit entries as well. Check it out: Vicipaedia Also, we have a wiki here at Romae.org, but this one is written in English. This, however, gives me an … [Read more...]
