We're off! This week in Latin we have begun memorizing a Table Blessing in Latin. Students are to be able to recite this short prayer in class by next Thursday, September 9. Have them practice any opportunity they can. They have been practicing before lunch at school! Once we get this one down, we will begin working on the Lord's Prayer.
Benedic, Domine nos (Bless us, O Lord)
et haec Tua dona (and these Thy gifts)
quae de Tua largitate (which from your bounty)
sumus sumpturi (we are about to receive)
Per Christum Dominum nostrum. (through Christ our Lord.)
Amen
We've also been discussing singular and plural in nouns and adjectives as well as agreement between nouns and adjectives. In Latin, the adjective follows the noun it is describing. For instance in English we would say the pretty girl but in Latin it is puella pulchra.
