Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 7
Beginner - Intermediate Level
In this highly interactive, six-week class that continues from the prerequisite classes Intro to Latin for Kids, Latin Level 1, Latin Level 2, Latin Level 3, and Latin Level 4, learners will continue to speak the ancient language of Latin using classical pronunciation. Through lively discussions, vocabulary lists or flashcards (which I will provide), visuals, optional note taking, and imitating my speaking, students will generate and translate increasingly advanced Latin sentences—some of them funny. Also, because about 60% of English has Latin in it, the kids will see how the roots from Latin words in class connect with many English words they already know, plus they will increase their English vocabularies. There will even be the opportunity to invent wacky English words with Latin roots!

The material will include nouns, verbs in three tenses, a new irregular verb or two, adjectives, four noun cases, at least three noun declensions, prepositional phrases, new vocabulary, and a few high-frequency words. Each week, the learners will have ongoing opportunities to construct increasingly advanced Latin sentences using what they have learned!  

Because this class builds onto the prerequisite classes mentioned above, learners are required to complete them prior to starting this six-week class. If your child(ren) has/have previous Latin experience that might satisfy the equivalent material in this series of Latin classes up to this point, I can consider exceptions on an individual basis. Please keep in mind that because Latin learning outside of my classes does not parallel my scope and sequence, it is difficult to ascertain where a student would fit into my class sequence. In addition, for students who have already mastered what I introduce in this class, the class likely would not be an appropriate fit.

I will provide each learner printable vocabulary material as well as weekly summaries or examples of the material we cover.  Along with speaking and writing in fun sentences, more specifically (depending on overall learner readiness):

Class 1: Students will review, strengthen, and practice using 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th conjugation regular verbs in the present tense. They will also continue learning how to use verbs in the imperfect tense. They will also review four noun cases (nominative, accusative, ablative, and genitive) using singular nouns, then will receive an introduction to any plural forms they have not yet learned in the four noun cases. Students will create fun sentences using their new material.

Class 2: Students will continue learning the plural forms in the four noun cases. They will also receive an introduction to the simple future tense in the 1st regular verb conjugation and begin using it. Students will create fun sentences using their new material.

Week 3: Students will receive an introduction to the simple future tense in the 2nd regular verb conjugation and begin using it. They will also review, strengthen, and practice the plural forms in the four noun cases. Students will create fun sentences using their new material.

Week 4: Students will receive an introduction to the simple future tense in the 3rd regular verb conjugation and begin using it. Students will create fun sentences using their new material.

Week 5: Students will receive an introduction to the simple future tense in the 4th regular verb conjugation and begin using it. Students will create fun sentences using their new material.

Week 6: Students will add an irregular verb or two to their Latin repertoires. Depending on learner readiness, the students will also receive an introduction to 4th declension nouns and a few of their accusative case endings.

I look forward to seeing you!

I taught beginning elementary school Latin as part of my teaching career. I also created and taught a private extracurricular program in Latin and Latin roots for elementary school-ages students.  I enjoy instilling self-confidence and motivation in students to learn unfamiliar material in ways that are relevant to their familiar, everyday lives. This involves a combination of discovery, discussion, and practice, with an age-appropriate sense of humor. Establishing a low-risk atmosphere and a comfortable rapport, I enjoy connecting with each individual learner, valuing the unique interests, strengths, and eager curiosity the students bring to class.
