It is a little bit, especially learning about past tense, both perfect and imperfect, and all the rules that Latin has. But some of it is a little easier, a lot of the words we use in English come from Latin, so you can recognize words a little easier sometimes.
Health: Took more notes about calories and talked about obesity.
Advanced Math: We read our Math book and did some problems involving positive and negative numbers (of which I already know...so I guess this part will be easy).
English: We read a poem and wrote about our thoughts on it.
Chorus: We sang "South African Suite" and "ABC" (yes, "ABC, easy as 123, ah simple as Do Re Mi...") We couldn't practice in the auditorium because there was some weird smell, Mrs. M suspected that it was a dead animal in the vents. We had to practice in the auditorium lobby.
Social Studies: We finished our video "Discovering Russia" and pasted the question paper into our 5-subject notebooks. We then worked on our Russia and the Independent States project. We had to pass in the Fact Sheet for our countries. I'm doing Azerbaijan.
Latin: We went over our vocabulary words, and also played "Flyswatter", which is where the teacher says the words and we have to swat (with flyswatters!) the picture that represents the Latin word. It was tons of fun.
Music: We again played the Notation game. This time we played Boys vs. Girls. There was a tie so we all got candy!!
Yeah...pretty good school day overall.
