Awards certificates and flash cards update
I have a brand-new free download for you this week: awards certificates that you can use for your Classical Conversations’ End of Year program! This package include cycle-specific PDFs as well as sample Word .docx files that have already been set up and are ready for you to customize.
I’d hoped to be able to provide you with editable files for PCs and Apple computers, but ultimately had to opt for plain PDFs for my friends with Macs. If you can open a .docx file, you can probably adapt these fairly easily for your purposes.
The zipped folder contains a sheet of instructions that you should read prior to using these, and explains everything that is included in the download—including the names and download location for the free fonts I used to design them.

I’ve had quite a few people contact me recently regarding the Challenge 1 extension to my Henle Latin flash cards. I had hoped to complete those over the late winter/spring break and have them ready by now. Unfortunately, life had other plans for my family. I regret that I haven’t been able to follow through on that and just wanted my readers to know that I will try to provide those as soon as I possibly can. The current card set includes the vocabulary used through Lesson 25 of Henle Latin I, and are perfect for Challenge A and Challenge B students.

I use Chrome / Google Docs- Any chance I can get a PDF of the Essentials Certificate? Microsoft Dox does not translate into a google Doc.
These are wonderful graphics and I can not find anything even close!
Hi, Danielle. I didn’t provide the certificates as PDFs because you can’t edit that file format. However, I just tested this out myself and I think I have a solution for you. Go to your Google Drive and upload the Sample_Essentials.docx. Open the file in Google Docs, and then scroll down to just below the diagram on the certificate. It will probably look like blank space, but use your cursor and click there. You’ll see a text box outlined and then the word Edit just below it. Click Edit, and it will open an editing screen and will show you the sample text that I included with the file. Change that text to what you’d like it to say, and then save your changes. If you don’t see them reflected on the certificate when you close it, you may need to move that text box slightly up or down. Ultimately, though, it should show up. I couldn’t quite seem to figure out how it finally worked for me, but this is what I did. 🙂 I hope it will work for you, too! If that way doesn’t work, you may just need to print the background images first, then create a Google Doc file that contains your text and run the pages through your printer again so the text will show up.
I specifically included blank background files for folks who have to go that route because of software compatibility issues. Good luck! 🙂
These award certificates are beautiful! Do you have any for Challenge? I’m a Ch A Director in Virginia and would love to be able to give my students something like this!
Hi, Angela! These are designed so they could be used for anything, really.
I provide blank copies of the background image without the memory work, so you could easily adapt them for Challenge. In fact, I have updated the file to now include a sample that’s already set up for Challenge. Check it out!
