Hodie in Historia

November 15, 2019November 14, 2019 ~ magistraberg ~ Leave a comment

Have you ever been reminded of something, from a while ago, that at THAT time just passed you by - ZIP, right over your head - but now seems like a miracle... one you wish you'd known about earlier? Or rather, that you'd been in the right place, at the right moment, in the right … Continue reading Hodie in Historia

Stepping Back and Taking Stock

October 25, 2019October 23, 2019 ~ magistraberg ~ Leave a comment

This week has been rough. Very rough. The students are far past comfortable with me and the class - now, they are pushing boundaries and limits to see where the line is drawn. If I'm honest with myself, they've gotten away with a bit of chaos. I haven't been 100% on script with the whole … Continue reading Stepping Back and Taking Stock

Card Talk is Better (for me)

September 27, 2019September 26, 2019 ~ magistraberg ~ Leave a comment

Though, in reality, the game offers little in the way of … Continue reading VINCO (a listening bingo-like word race) and more…

We're at the end of the third week of school. My Latin I students have finished their first unit of study in Latin, the numbers, and what follows is an overview of what happened and what I need to do differently next time. Planning is getting easier. At first, I either had too much planned … Continue reading Tips & Tricks from the Trenches

Third Day of Class

August 23, 2019August 23, 2019 ~ magistraberg ~ Leave a comment

First week of school, recap, part three. Here's an overview of what we did in class (Latin I - I do teach a total of 5 preps of Latin, from Latin I through AP Latin). We are on an A/B block schedule, so I only saw the students three times this week, for about an … Continue reading Third Day of Class
