Salvete Omnes!
Classes resumed today. Students reviewed Greek sentences and learned new Greek vocal. Cicero's defense of Milo continued in Declamatio and, after two classes, students reached the main clause! The Trojan War raged on in Magistra Wilkins' class. Students also covered the Cycladic Civilization and examined Folded Arm Figurines (FAF's for short). After a Latin-only lunch, students gathered back at the dorms for Greek practice. Students then had the opportunity to work out at the gym. Then, Dr. Andrew Becker, the day's guest speaker, explained sound, sense, and meter in English, Latin, and Greek poetry. Finally, students learned to perform various types of Greek folk dances. Rebecca said, "It was fun and exhausting." Students learned the four main kinds of dancing which originated on four different islands. First, our guest instructor, Mosca Flint, showed the students the steps. Then, the students got in line and practiced them one row at a time across the floor. Finally, the students formed a giant circle and danced together. Everyone had a great time!
