SECUNDUS DIES - Latin Day Classes and More!

Our first full day was packed with events!
We started with Latin day classes. In Circumlitio, we viewed images of Hercules, read poetry in meter, and learned about how Romans painted their statues. In Latina Loquenda, we were super incredibly scared (well, maybe only a little bit) by speaking in Latin to each other. And in Occidat dum Imperet, we got to know Agrippina the Younger a little bit and her complicated life story.
After lunch, we signed up for roles in the play, Pseudolus, which we will perform on the second-to-last day of Academy. We also signed up to work on the Memoranda DVD and the Nuntia newspaper.
We then competed in a scavenger hunt around campus - totally in Latin!
This evening was full of festivities too. Mr. Cavedo, aka Cavellus, led us on an exploration of our theme - nec me mea fallit imago, "my image does not deceive me." We explored Commodus' depiction of himself as Hercules, the myth of Narcissus (who echoes Echo and whom Echo echoes), and finally thought about what makes a thing... a thing. 
We finished off with Latinae Minutiae, a fun-filled quiz game.
Looking forward to tomorrow - first day of Greek day classes in the morning, play try-outs in the afternoon, and elections in the evening!
