Some Things I Learned This Week

I learned how to write God, ago, long, chose, us, and own in cursive. I can even write my name in cursive! I also learned fractions and measuring in math. I'm studying Latin, too. Latin used to be spoken by everyone in the world! All the languages we speak today come from Latin. The Latin word for window is fenestra. Some Latin words sound like the words we speak today.Here's an example: Gem is gemma in Latin. I learned about the Native Americans in history. The Hopewell indians buried their dead in mounds. Some of the mounds are shaped like snakes and turtles.
