Latin II :: Psalmus 23

Following is Psalm 23 in Latin. Since this is a long and somewhat difficult passage I am not requiring memorization but rather an ability to read the Psalm outloud with proper pronunciation.

Psalmus 23
Dominus pascit me, et nihil mihi deerit;
in pascuis virentibus me collocavit,
super aquas quietis eduxit me.
Animam meam refecit.
Deduxit me super semitas iustitiae propter nomen suum.
Nam et si ambulavero in Valle umbrae Mortis,
non timebo mala, quoniam Tu mecum es,
virga Tua et baculus Tuus,
ipsa me consolata sunt.
Parasti in conspectu meo mensam
adversus eos, qui tribulant me;
impinguasti in oleo caput meum,
et calix meus redundat.
Etenim benignitas et misericordia subsequentur me
omnibus diebus vitae meae,
et inhabitabo in Domo Domini
in longitudinem dierum.

We have been concentrating on new vocabulary words and further review of verbs and complex sentences. We even have a new class mantra: Debemus cogitare. We must think, or literally, we ought to think!

We are having really fun time expanding our knowledge and vocabulary and reading authentic Latin texts. Optime!

Latin I :: Pater Noster

We have been learning to recite the Lord's Prayer in Latin. I'm so proud of how well they did on the table blessing! I'm posting the Pater Noster just so students might have a copy at home to practice! We will have a memorization test in the next couple of weeks.

<b>Pater Noster</b>
Pater noster qui es in caelis
Sanctificetur nomen Tuum
Adveniat regnum Tuum
Fiat voluntas Tua
Sicut in Caelo et in terra
Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie
Et dimitte nobis debita nostra
Sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem
Sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

We have also been learning new vocabulary and will have a vocabulary test before the end of the quarter. Vocabulary words will be posted tomorrow.

Science: Week of Sept 20

3rd grade has been studying the Skeletal System. By Friday, the students should know and be able to identify these bones: cranium, mandible, clavicle, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, sternum, rib cage, spine, pelvis, femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, and metatarsals. We will also learn about the different kinds of joints in the body. "Elvira Bones" (a Michael's' resin reproduction) will be visiting with the class this week...along with a real lizard skeleton. This is shaping up to be a great week...no bones about it!
