It's National Latin Teacher Recruitment Week (NLTRW) and I am answering the call from Sherwin Little, President of the American Classical League, to celebrate the week with my third grade students!<br />
Yesterday coincided with a national reading event called Read Across America (See http://www.nea.org/readacross/) which marks Dr. Seuss' birthday on March 2th.<br />
My third graders were amazed to learn that there was a Latin translation of The Cat In the Hat – Cattus Petasatus, (Dr. Seuss' classic was translated by Jennifer Morrish Tunberg, Ph.D. and Terence O. Tunberg, Ph. D and published by Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers,Inc.) Each year, I encourage my students to memorize the first page in Latin and some of them challenge their parents to do the same.<br />
You can download an animated ENGLISH version of The Cat In the Hat FREE through KID THING, a program on the NEA website. My students viewed the English version on a screen and listened to parts of it in Latin from a podcast made possible by Bolchazy –Carducci Publishers, Inc. read by Rose Williams and produced by Andrew Reinhard. The Latin audio is here: http://tinyurl.com/dzvz39<br />
Thanks to everyone for your help!<br />
Today we practiced Latin greetings from Chapter 1 of Dr. Traupman's Conversational Latin for Oral Proficiency. Dr. Traupman is a familiar name in my class since students who join the Latin Club use his dictionary. Thanks for all of your help too, Dr. Traupman!<br />
Tomorrow...more fun!
