Salvete! 
Today was jam packed with SO MUCH fun stuff! We had a special Roman breakfast consisting of bread, cheese, meats, and fruits. Then we worked on our Trajan's Market products. After a pizza lunch, we had some free time filled with lots of card games and ping pong. Then we learned about Roman games and made our own game boards. Finally, we watched the anime film Mononoke Hime with the Japanese Academy.
Basically today was amazing and super fun. Thank you so much for today!
