This is a twist on the game Headbandz that's so low-prep it’s no-prep to help s's stay focused and engaged during any introduction of new material/pre-reading/Q and A/Circling/etc. and gives you a way to check comprehension in a fun way https://t.co/vxW7pkVeFK

io Saturnalia!

[Legonium @tutubuslatinus]

One more sleep! Tomorrow - December 17 - is the Saturnalia, the day Catullus calls the very best of days. Let gifts be given and meals be shared. I am getting in early to wish you the very best for the day. Saturnus nobis omnibus rideat : May Saturn smile upon us all. 🙂

Today, area hs students learned about Roman religion and magic at Latin Day hosted by Wright State Univ. Dept of Humanities. What a fun, student-centered department! Pictured: VP and Pres of WSU Classics Club; students making curse tablets and “restless dead.” #WeAreFirebirds

Mummy portraits are paintings, often highly naturalistic and made on thin wood panels, that covered the faces of mummified bodies in Roman Egypt.

Our mummy portraits have recently been studied in great detail, leading to fascinating new discoveries.

Classical archaeologist Sarah Beal came to teach Latin Club students how to sort, classify and identify 2,000 year+ old sherds today— amazing! Thanks for this rare and amazing opportunity— so glad we didn’t drop the kylix! 🤣@ClassicsUC #WeAreFirebirds

Today, Fairmont Latin students learned from Austin-based Jack Emmert, Classicist-turned-video-game-developer-and-CEO who explained the qualities he developed while studying Ancient Greek and Latin, citing, most surprisingly, flexibility and creativity! #WeAreFirebirds

Felicem mihi natalem (et Beyoncéi)! Discipula mea hanc candelam fecit et mane mihi dedit! Gratias, Katie!
Happy birthday to me and Beyoncé! My student made this candle and gave it to me this morning. Thanks, Katie!!!

I always encourage doodling. Thanks to a 350 yr old math notebook of a teen in England, we now see that laughing at pants on chickens has been going on for a while. Doodle on, discipuli!

“... It’s not unlike the Greek playwrights who told tales of heroes thousands of years ago, weaving embellishment into their telling of the truth, upping the entertainment for the listener.” https://t.co/AxOfScfIy4

One of my favorite lines from Vergil...

[Legonium @tutubuslatinus]

dux femina facti : a woman [was] the leader of the deed

Written of Dido of Phoenicia, after locating and excavating a trove of buried gold, hijacking a royal fleet, and sailing away with a band of followers escaping a murderous tyrant - her brother. The Aeneid, Book I, 364
