I do not collect/grade homework or assignments except upon the request of parents/guardians. I am more than happy to provide feedback on work that students complete, but I do not require it. Please email me if you wish to discuss specifics on how we can tailor this class to best fit your students and their learning goals.Grading
includedClass Experience
This class follows a similar style and structure to Intro to Latin 1 and 2, and continues using the Lingua Latina textbook. Students who enroll in this class should expect to complete homework to stay on top of their Latin: as the content grows increasingly challenging, it becomes all the more necessary for students to engage outside of class time as well. As always, each week of Latin class includes vocabulary building and connections to English derivatives, and of course lots of reading and translation. In Latin-3 we will incorporate more grammatical analysis of sentences and passages than in Latin 1 and 2. By the end of Latin-3, students will have learned the first, second, and third (masculine and feminine) noun declensions! The Latin-3 content will additionally introduce students to an increasing number of Latin case functions, thus widening their understanding of Latin and language in general.
Learning Goals
Students will expand their Latin vocabulary and grammar foundations as well as their ability to connect these with their understanding of the English language.

Hello! I’m Larissa Laver and I’ve been teaching since 2008. I’ve worked with young children through young adults over the years: I have taught Pre-K through collegiate level courses and literally every grade in between at some point in my career. I mainly have taught Latin language from elementary through advanced levels, and occasionally teach Ancient Greek as well. I also teach Ancient Greek and Roman History courses, Classical Mythology, and the Homeric Epics. I have traveled extensively in Greece and Italy, and what I learned on those adventures often finds its way into my lessons.
I consider myself a lifelong learner and am always digging deeper to discover more about the world we live in, its history, peoples, languages, religions, cuisines, and more! I also love when my students challenge me with their amazing questions and observations. I spend much time reading and researching in the hopes of being a better citizen of the world and educator.
When I'm not engaged in academic pursuits, I spend my time with my amazing husband. Together we love to travel, play tennis, and hang out with our pet chickens! When I'm on my own, I love kickboxing, yoga (sometimes outside with the chickens!), and gardening (also with the chickens).
