Hello Nova families one last time! This is just a final post as I’m getting ready to clear things out, both physical classroom things and this online blog. If you want to bookmark anything directly that you may still want to use in the future (like the Quizlet vocabulary practice sets!) feel free to do that since I’ll be taking down this blog over the summer.
Valete, omnes!

Welcome to all Nova Lower School Latin students and families! This blog is a great resource for questions and materials related to Latin class. You can also email me at any time at hreynolds@novaclassical.org.
If you need links to practice games and activities, vocabulary flashcard sites, etc., see the links on the left side. I will also post extra copies of study guides/grammar notes for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders as well.
Bookmark this blog site and check for updates when we start a new chapter. I’ll post quiz and test dates and have extra study materials available. Searching posts by grade level is usually easiest, or just scroll down to the latest post for your student’s grade level for extra information.
I look forward to the new school year and getting to know your students!
Here are some handy chant videos that you can use to challenge your scholar anytime you need a 30-second (or longer!) opportunity for review and practice.
This is great over the summer! See how many chants from this list that they already know. Your scholar has had printed versions of all the chants that they have learned in their notes or study guides, so if they’ve kept those, that would be helpful too.
It’s very important that they have these memorized as we learn and review them each year!
Here are the chants they should now know!
3rd grade: the “being” verb, the verb endings, 1st declension, 2nd declension (masculine), 2nd declension (neuter).
4th grade: the present tense “being” verb, the present tense verb endings, 1st declension, 2nd declension (masculine), 2nd declension (neuter), 3rd declension (masculine/feminine), 1st person pronouns, 2nd person pronouns, imperfect tense “being” verb, imperfect tense verb endings.
5th grade: the present tense “being” verb, the present tense verb endings, 1st declension, 2nd declension (masculine), 2nd declension (neuter), 3rd declension (masculine/feminine), 1st person pronouns, 2nd person pronouns, imperfect tense “being” verb, imperfect tense verb endings, the perfect tense verb endings.
