Carroll celebrates World Language Week
|
|
This week, Archbishop Carroll has been celebrating World Language Week, with students and teachers of the World Language Department sharing the wonderful cultures they study all year with the entire Carroll community. Various locations around the building were labeled in multiple languages and students lead prayer for the entire school in different languages throughout the week.
The highlight of the week was the second annual International Festival held Tuesday, Mar. 13, in the East Gym.
Students, who had been researching and preparing for weeks, worked in groups to present and share information about the rich and diverse cultures of our world! Visitors were able to taste authentic dishes, participate in various sports, dances, and traditions, and learn about many different countries of the world!
|
|
Students and staff also participated in a, “Where in the World?” activity in which they labeled places on the map they have traveled to, places where they would like to travel to, and places where friends and family members live.
There was also a Travel Photo exhibit that showcased the beautiful places in the U.S. and around the world that our students and staff have traveled to. To see the submissions and vote for your favorites, please access the Google Form here:

Voting concludes Friday, Mar. 16, at 3 p.m. Winners will receive Wawa gift cards!
Happy World Language Week -
“Languages lead us on a path to understanding other cultures.”

Students encouraged to enroll in Honors Latin 1
|
|
By Mr. Louis M. Valenti
Latin Teacher
Latin is a "classical" language which is offered as an elective for any grade at Carroll.
Although not spoken, its influence is evident in many modern languages and cultures today, especially English. Many students take Latin because they know Latin vocabulary will help them with other subjects and with the SAT.
Having taught Latin for almost 20 years, it is my professional opinion that the most important reason to take Latin is to learn critical thinking skills. The way the ancient Romans spoke, was the way they thought, and this was very logical.
The study of Latin provides students with an opportunity to develop much needed critical thinking skills through a focus on Latin grammar. This is not an easy class! This is a class which requires hard work and dedication, but like such things in life, provides high results!
So often, when I identify myself as a Latin teacher to parents, their faces light up and they want to tell me about their experience taking Latin in high school. Please consider encouraging your student to take Honors Latin 1 next year as their elective. It truly would be an investment in their success!
