Today was another exciting day of Latin academy full of play practice, gym time, and lots of mail. The cast members continued memorizing their lines (which are in Latin, by the way) while the rest worked on a variety of tasks including the play's set, Nuntia (first edition is being published on the 6th!), and Memoranda. We also painted the sculptures that we created a few days ago, along with new panel paintings inspired by our provinces. Panel paintings were traditionally painted with either encaustic or tempera paints and were used to decorate homes and sometimes sarcophagi. Thank you to all of the friends and family who have sent letters over the past week. After a long weekend, students got many letters from home this afternoon. We are thankful for all of your kind words; they are a nice reminder of home.

And we're so happy to receive letters from our girl, and to know that she's truly enjoying herself, and learning more about ancient art and cultures, and how much she likes the process of learning. Thank you!
