Both classes will be working on Chapter 2 this week. 4B will be having the Chapter 1 quiz on Tuesday since we did not have Latin last Friday. On Wednesday, we will be learning about the story of Romulus and Remus and how Rome was founded. On Thursday, 4A will learn of the story of how the Trojan War started. 4B will be doing the same next week Tuesday. This story will provide a foundation for the Roman epic, the Aeneid, which we will learn about later this school year.
