About me |
I grew up in Amherst County, but graduated from Timberlake Christian High School. I then attended Sweet Briar College, where I earned a degree in History with a minor in Latin. But the madness of classics had struck, so I went back and studied Latin and Greek for two additional years. I wrote a senior thesis on Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul and a summer honor's research paper on androgyny in ancient Athenian history, law, and literature. I then completed a Postbaccalaureate Program in Classical Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. My favorite ancient authors are Homer, Ovid, Euripides, and Tacitus.
Interspersed throughout the above, I taught Latin in Bedford County Public Schools and Amherst County Public Schools. The 2022-2023 school year is my fifth school year at EC Glass and I love teaching there. I have also served as a teacher, lead teacher, and now Director of the Governor's Latin Academy. |

Salvete Omnes!
I hope to use this page in and outside the classroom to better improve comprehension and retention of important knowledge and skills. Latin is cumulative, meaning all that we learned in Latin I needs to accompany you to Latin II. Please use this resource throughout the year and over the summer, so you can maintain your skills.
Valete,
Magistra Wilkins |
