All About Latin and Ancient Rome

This course is designed to get young learners excited about learning Latin and other World Languages. Students will repeat words and phrases and sing songs (yes, lots of songs!) in Latin each week. Some lessons will be focused more on Ancient Roman history, culture, mythology; and even on those days, Latin words and phrases will appear in class. My teaching style is flexible and fun. I use props as well as screen-share slides with words and pictures to keep visual learners engaged. I often post optional worksheets or coloring pages that accompany lessons to the Classroom. Questions, comments, and observations from students are welcome and encouraged! Students will practice good Zoom classroom manners in this class by raising their hands and waiting their turn before speaking. 


Check the schedule* below for updates and new topics added each term! Each lesson will feature a Color Diei (Color of the Day), an Animal Diei (Animal of the Day), and a Deus/Dea Diei (God or Goddess of the Day - these we will learn both the Greek and Roman names for, too!). Students who attend for several months can expect to hear repeats here; but as one of my own teachers used to say, repetition is the mother of learning! The lesson topic listed in the schedule below will be our bigger focus each week (usually about 7-10 minutes of discussion on that topic).
