LATIN
INTRODUCTION
Although there are many very good reasons to include Latin in a child's education, pragmatic reasons like enriching
vocabulary and deepening the understanding of English grammar among them, the best reason for introducing
this language to a young mind is that it is intrinsically interesting. It is a language with familiar words from an
ambitious society, but it is quite different from our language in structure. English depends primarily on word
order, with endings or inflections taking a second place, for communicating thought. Latin communicates thoughts
by adding endings to words, so the word order in a sentence is less important.
There are quite a few word endings to learn, too. If you take a look at the back of a Wheelock's Latin text, you will
discover that a noun has 10 different endings and that there are five families of nouns—50 different endings.
There are four families of verbs and nearly 240 different endings for each family (240 x 4 = 960!). Yet children are
mastering this material regularly. Yours will be no different.
The study of this particular language with all its inflections trains a child's brain to observe, to compare, and then
to generalize. It teaches them to pay attention to the details of a sentence to gain understanding.
A fifth grade student of mine had read the fable of the crow and the urn in a Latin reader. A few weeks later he
brought a large K’NEX sculpture to school and informed me that it was like Latin. The long and shapely pieces
are the words and the tiny connecting pieces are the endings that hold the shape together. In the end, he had made
a sculpture of a crow in flight. The work was intricate and careful, and it took him a long time to complete. He was
rewarded with the likeness of a crow, but he communicated to me that he understood that all the endings and
vocabulary also brought the reward of understanding a culture, and a way of thinking different from our own.
The course we present with Latin for Children and then the Wheelock’s and Cambridge Latin Course are
systematic and child friendly (very parent friendly, too). The work is interesting and the stories are compelling. It is
important that you keep up with your child's mastery. Many of the assignments will ask you to work together.
Keep in mind that mastering this language is difficult, but not impossible. If you find that the pace is too fast, slow
down. Some children learn quickly and have a knack for language; some don't, but if you believe that it is the
correct course for your child's education, persevere. The rewards are astonishing.

OBJECTIVE
To introduce the children to a very old foreign language and its vocabulary
TEACHING
Note: Here is some information to give you some background before you begin teaching the Latin language.
“Salvete, liberi!”
“You are safe, children!”
What a unique way to greet your family, friends, and even perfect strangers—to let them know that they are “safe”
with you! The Roman greeting is a doorway into a society which existed long ago, a warrior race who built roads
to last 80–100 years. These roads along with other buildings and artwork have become lasting memorials of the
Romans’ brilliant engineering, usefully surviving not 80–100 years, but 2000 years!
Let’s meet the Romans through their language. Although Latin is not spoken as a national tongue, it has been
carefully preserved and studied for more than 2000 years.
In the study of Latin you will not only learn what the Romans thought, but you will also learn how they thought. If
you are persistent and diligent (learning any foreign language at times can be demanding, but press on), you could
“meet” Caesar as he reported on his conquests. Cicero may persuade you in an argument. You could be
entertained and deeply moved by the poetry of Virgil. Perhaps even Augustine himself will challenge and deepen
your faith.
“Valete.”
Be strong. Be well. Prevail!
HOOK: Allow the children to deconstruct either the puzzle or kit, paying attention to each piece.
Comment on its shape, color, and where it had been originally placed. Then have them carefully
reconstruct the puzzle. Explain that learning Latin is a lot like this. Say to the children: "Learning Latin

LESSON

will be a lot like working a puzzle. You will look carefully at words, examine each part of them, and then
you will rebuild a thought with the words in sentences, paragraphs and stories."
2. Watch the Intro on Primer A DVD 1, and then watch Chapter 1.
ALERT: At first it may be easier to watch the DVD for the pronunciation of the vocabulary, since you can
see a person actually saying the sounds. Have the children be as precise as possible when saying a
word, because they will then "feel" the word as well as see it and hear it, using three senses to "get it into
their brains." The teacher's pace on the DVD and CD may seem fast. However, it is a good thing to learn
right away to keep moving with the pronunciation in both chants and vocabulary.
3. Have the children read along in the Latin for Children Primer A, Chapter 1 page 1 as they watch the DVD. This
will take about 40 minutes.
Note: Salvete, pueri (poo-air-ee), if you are working with boys. Salvete, liberi (lee-bair-ee), if you are working with
both boys and girls.

HOOK: Once again have the children rework the same puzzle or Lego kit. How fast can they work the
puzzle today?
1. Have the children review the vocabulary and chants with the DVD or CD and then try them on their own.
2. Review the answers on page 4 in Latin for Children Primer A, A. TRANSLATION. Say to the children, "When
we translate a Latin verb, we say it from left to right, 1. a-mo, but we read it from right to left." Next point to the
-o and say, "I", then to the am- and say, "love." Have the children do the same thing with the other verbs: 2 intro, I
enter; 3. do, I give; 4. laboro, I work; and 9. narro, I tell. Check the spelling in B. CHANT. Say, "Spelling counts
when learning any foreign language!"
ALERT: Since Latin is a language that is read and interpreted with the endings on its words, the children
must learn to recognize the ending first. At the moment, they will learn to see the -o, which is why we
translate the first principle part, "amo, I love." An -o on a noun means something else. Nouns will be
covered in subsequent chapters. For now, just learn the meaning of the nouns.
3. Have the children review the highlighted concepts on the Chapter 1 GRAMMAR pages. Then have them do
C. GRAMMAR and D. DERIVATIVES together. Assist them if they are confused by what they have read.
4. Have the children learn the names of a verb's principle parts on page 3 of Primer A. Then read and complete
the Chapter 1 DERIVATIVE WORKSHEET together.

TEACHING
1. Have the children review the vocabulary and chants with the DVD or CD.
2. Read the grammar pages out loud with the children. Use the Primer A Answer Key for the key sentences used in
the worksheet and quiz. Say to the children, "Don't let pages 11 and 12 frighten you. Remember the puzzle from
last week? By finding the verb stem in the second principle part, you have taken a piece of the puzzle out. When
you put the endings on it, you are putting the puzzle back together. Remember how easily you worked the puzzle
on the third day? Now look back at the verbs you had in Chapter 1. Can you find their stems? Let's highlight
them."
Answer Key for above exercise:
amo, amare, amavi, amatum
do, dare, dedi, datum
intro, intrare, intravi, intratum
laboro, laborare, laboravi, laboratum
narro, narrare, narravi, narratum
3. Now say to the children, "Think of the principle parts in Chapter 1 as Legos or puzzle pieces with which we
build Latin words and thoughts. It is good to remember all the new grammar terms. Sometimes this can be like
learning a foreign language, too!"
"So far we have seen:"
Conjugate: to list all the forms of a verb (put endings on a stem)
Conjugation: the listing together of a verb’s forms with the endings
Principle Parts: the four different forms of a Latin verb
Present: the name of the first principle part
Infinitive: the name of the second principle part
Perfect: the name of the third principle part
L A T IN 10

3. Have the children try conjugating the verbs from Chapter 1 on the additional worksheet provided below. Do I.
together, and then allow the children to work on the rest of the tables. This will help them become familiar with
the different forms they will be reading in the future. Correct the tables together. Once the mechanics are
completed, randomly pick a form from each table, and have the children translate it orally, remembering to
translate the ending of the verb also.
Example:
narramus: tell we, we tell
dant: give they, they give

help them continue to focus on mastering new forms. Remember, the ancient Romans learned all the
forms from their parents and daily contact with other people, since it was their language. In other words,
the Roman children grew up speaking it. Sometimes the chanting may feel artificial and get tedious, but
it is a time-tested method of mastery.

3. Have the children recite the case names in order.
INSTRUCTION
1. Once the case names have been mastered, it is time to begin basic instruction in declension, the listing of nouns
with all their endings. Say, "Do you remember how to conjugate a verb?" Wait for an answer. If you need to,
remind the children about the 2nd principle part and about crossing off the -re to find its stem (Chapter 2,
Conjugating a Verb) and then attaching the present tense endings. Say, "Nouns do something very similar. A
noun's stem (other Latin grammars sometimes call this a base) is found in the genitive singular form. All the letters
in this form in front of the genitive singular ending, -ae, are the noun's stem or base. Let's see if we can spy the stem
of the nouns in this week's vocabulary. Let's look at the vocabulary page of Chapter 4. Highlight (or underline)
each noun's stem." It is very important to direct the children to the genitive singular, even though the stem is
clearly visible in the nominative singular of these nouns. Other declensions, which will be taught in the future, are
not as regular as 1st-declension nouns. Recognizing the stem in the genitive singular is a very good habit to
develop starting now.

OBJECTIVE
To introduce masculine nouns of 2nd declension
TEACHING
Note: Classical Academic Press changed the Chapter Maxim in Chapters 6 and 7 from what is on the
DVD, which was produced with the first issue of Latin for Children. As the editors updated the primers,
they believed that this new quote from Cicero is more appropriate for these chapters. It is recommended
that you use the written quote in Chapter 7, instead of the one appearing on the DVD.
REVIEW
1. Ask, "What is a noun?"
A noun is a word that names a person, place or thing.
2. Ask, "What are the five cases in Latin?"
The five cases in Latin are nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, and ablative.
If the children answer the question above with the cases out of order, it is OK. Then remind them that it is
important to put them in the correct order, and help them do that. You might prompt them with the mnemonic
Never Give Davus Any Apples.
INSTRUCTION
1. Watch Chapter 6 on the DVD.
2. Have the children repeat the New Chant: Ludus—2nd-Declension Noun and the vocabulary with the DVD,

REVIEW
1. Have the children watch the DVD and recite this week's new chant and vocabulary with it.
2. Have the children recite the new chapter maxim, cum tacent, clamant.
INSTRUCTION
1. Have the children open their books to the vocabulary list on the Memory Page of Chapter 6. Ask them to look
at the nominative singulars of the nouns on this list. Ask, "With what two letters do most of these nominatives
end?"
-us, but three of them end with the letter -r.
2. Now say, "Look at the genitive singulars. With what letter do they end?"
-i
3. Just as the genitive singular of every 1st-declension noun is -ae, every 2nd declension noun has the genitive
singular, -i.
A way to think about the two declensions is this. Nouns exist in families. Nominative is from the Latin root nomen,
which means name. Genitive is from the Latin root genitum, which means having been born or begotten. If nouns have a
genitive singular of -ae, they are begotten in one family. If nouns have a genitive singular of -i, they are begotten in
another family. When we make friends, we usually learn the friend's first name and the friend's family name, e.g.,
John Smith. If John has a sister Jane, her last name is Smith, too, because they are in the same family. You can tell
they are from the same family by their last name. So when we meet nouns in Latin, we meet their nominative
(name) and their genitive (family name).
L A T IN | 43
LATIN | Level 1
LESSON
27
4. Have the children find the stem of each noun in this vocabulary by looking at the letters in front of the -i of the
genitive singulars. Have them underline or highlight them.
Answer key: puer, pueri; vir, viri; germanus, germani; ludus, ludi; filius, filii; magister, magistri; discipulus, discipuli;
famulus, famuli; servus, servi; amicus, amici
Note: Notice that the stem of magister is magistr-. The two forms are almost, but not quite, the same.

INSTRUCTION

answer teacher. This is fine as long as it is understood that the teacher is a male.
2. When you correct B. CHANT, point out that English has endings, too. For example, in the plural column, the
word school has been made plural by adding an s.

1. Watch Chapter 7 on the DVD. Replace the Chapter Maxim with the one in the book. One way to remember
this maxim is to whisper "Cum tacent," perhaps with one finger in front of your lips, and then to shout,
"CLAMANT," with your hands open on either side of your mouth.
2. Have the children repeat the Ludus—2nd-Declension Noun chant, the new 2nd-Declension Noun Endings
chant, the Sum (I am) Chant, and the vocabulary with the DVD with their books open to the Memory Page of
Chapter 7.
Note: The word ludus, ludi was included in the Chapter 6 vocabulary list in this version of Latin for Children. Since
the DVD is from an earlier version, it is included in Chapter 7.

REVIEW
1. Watch Chapter 7 on the DVD. Replace the chapter maxim with the one in the book.
2. There is quite a bit to master in this chapter, so have the children repeat the new chants: the 2nd-Declension
Noun Endings chant, the Sum (I am) Chant, and the vocabulary with the DVD, and with their books open to the
Memory Page of Chapter 7.
INSTRUCTION
Read the Grammar Page of Chapter 7 out loud with the children. You will notice that it differs a little from the
DVD.
1. Make sure that the children have two pencils (one no. 2 and one red), and then follow the procedure in no. 2
when you work with the sentences at the bottom of the page.
2. Sentence 1. Femina intrat. Have the children trace the endings with their red pencils. Ask, "Do you know
which endings these are?"
-a is nominative, singular, feminine, and -t is 3rd person, singular.
3. Say, "Remember that the nominative case has the job of the Subject Noun (SN). In an English sentence, where
do we usually find the SN?"
at the beginning
4. "That is correct, so write the letters SN over femina; we will write this word first on the line, because subject
nouns are usually first in English." Have the children write woman on the line, leaving space in front of it to insert
an article adjective later.

she enters.
6. Have the children write that on the line next to servant. (_____servant she enters
this very good English? How can we 'translate' this into better English?"
Servant enters. A servant enters. The servant enters.
) Now ask the children, "Is
Note: Any of these answers is correct, because Latin does not have words for article adjectives. We must supply
one to make a tidy English sentence.
7. Now have the children erase the she and include an article adjective. ( The servant enters. /A servant enters. )
8. Follow this same procedure with the rest of the sentences. (By the fourth sentence, some children may skip the
fifth and sixth steps.) Pay attention on sentences 3 and 4, because the nouns and verbs are plural.
Answer Key for red letters:
1. Femina intrat.
2. Dominus stat.
3. Amicae stant.

INSTRUCTION
Say, "Neuter nouns are recognized by the genitive singular (-i) as being in the 2nd declension, just like masculine
nouns in 2nd declension. The difference between the two is simply that neuter nouns have a nominative singular
which ends in -um and masculine nouns, in -us (or -er, or -ir); and neuter nouns follow the Neuter Rule. What is the
Neuter Rule?”
For all neuter nouns, the nominative and accusative case forms are exactly the same, and the nominative and accusative plural forms
always end in short –a.
"Are there any exceptions?"
No.

INSTRUCTION
1. Read the Chapter 9 Grammar Page out loud with the children. Afterward, ask, "What is the only linking verb
you know in Latin?"
The only linking verb we know is sum, esse, fui, futurum.
2. Remind the children that the linking verb acts like an equal (=) sign. What is on the left side of the sign equals
what is on the right side. So if there is a nominative on the left (and in Latin there usually is), there will be a
nominative on the right.

-o.......................Singular.................Dat.....................Neuter*
-is.......................Plural.....................Dat......................Feminine*
*There are other possibilities in these three charts. Ask, "What else could this ending be, according to the chart?"
-a could also be singular, nominative, feminine or plural, nominative, neuter; -o could also be singular, dative, masculine or singular, ablative,
masculine and neuter; -is could also be plural, dative for both masculine and feminine, and it is the plural, ablative for all three.
If this seems a little confusing, it is okay. These endings work themselves out in sentences, paragraphs, and stories.
We will be doing some readings pretty soon. There are just a few more things to master.

1. Review any missed vocabulary words from the Chapter 11 quiz.
2. Have children chant the 1st- and 2nd-declension endings for nouns and adjectives.
3. Ask, "What exactly is an adjective?"
An adjective is a part of speech. It is a word that describes or modifies a noun or a pronoun. It answers the questions, "Which one? What kind?
How many?"
4. Ask, “In Latin, in what three ways does an adjective agree with the noun it modifies?”
An adjective agrees with the noun it modifies n case (nom., gen., etc.), number (sing. or pl.), and gender (m., f., n.).
INSTRUCTION
1. Watch Chapter 12 on the DVD, and have the children chant along with it.

REVIEW
1. Watch Chapter 12 on the DVD and recite the chants with it; then have the children try them on their own.
2. Review any missed vocabulary words from Chapter 11.
INSTRUCTION
1. Say, "An interesting thing about Latin adjectives is that they usually follow the nouns they modify in Latin
literature, unless they answer a question of size (How big?) or number (How many?). These adjectives will appear
before the nouns they modify. In English, we say the good man. The adjective is in front of the noun. In Latin, you
will often see this adjective behind the noun, e.g., vir bonus, literally meaning man good. Whether the adjective
precedes or follows the noun it modifies, it is always translated before the noun. Let's look back at the adjectives in
Chapter 11. Do any of these adjectives answer the questions about size or number?”
magnus, magna, magnum and parvus, parva, parvum.
2. "You can then expect to see adjectives describing size or number in front of the nouns they modify, e.g., parvum
oppidum (a small town) or magnus lupus (a large wolf). This may not always be the case, but it happens most of the
time. How about in Chapter 12? Do any adjectives answer the questions of size or number?"
There are none.

concepts in the text. (Use the Latin for Children Primer A Answer Key as help.)
2. Have children trace the endings of the subject nouns and the verbs with their red pencils. Notice that some
2nd-declension nouns do not end in -us in the nominative singular. The word for man ends in -ir, and the word for
teacher ends in -er. There are not many of these. Ask, "Do you remember how we can tell in which declension a
noun is?"
We can identify a noun’s declension by its genitive singular ending.

3. Ask, “What is the stem vowel for 1st conjugation?”
-a-
Note: If the children have trouble, have them look back at Chapters 1 and 3, where they have underlined or
highlighted each verb's stem. Point out that the last letter of the stem is the stem vowel, and remind them that this is
how we can tell in which conjugation a verb is. For all the verbs we have studied until now (except for the
irregular verb sum), the stem vowel is -a-.
INSTRUCTION
1. Have children watch Chapter 14 on the DVD and chant along with the DVD, with Primer A open to Chapter
14.
Note: There is an error on the DVD which has been corrected in the book. The third principle part of augeo is
auxi.
2. Have children make vocabulary cards for this new chapter. Remind them to include the m for masculine for the
new nouns in 1st declension. Use this as an opportunity to remind them that the genitive singular ending is how
they are to recognize a noun in this declension, not the -a at the end of the word or the gender feminine.

2. Have the children look at the A. TRANSLATION section on the Chapter 14 Worksheet page in Primer A.
Have them trace over the present tense endings on the verbs and the case endings on the nouns with a red pencil.
Then have them parse each form orally. Remind them that the present tense ending must be translated as a
subject pronoun (SP) if a noun in the nominative case is not present.
Answer Key:
1. pugno, 1st, sing.; 2. teneo, 1st, sing.; 3. auges, 2nd , sing.; 4. necas, 2nd, sing.; 5. incola, nom., sing.;
7. habemus, 1st, pl.; 8. mandatis, 2nd, pl.; 9. iubet, 3rd, sing.; 10. nautae, nom., pl.;

form will be studied at a future date. For now, just let them know that it is another tense ending,
which indicates that the verb is in a past tense, and that it is the 1st person, sing. (I): Veni, vidi, vici

2. Have children make new vocabulary flashcards for this lesson. Remind them to include the letter m for
masculine. Ask, "How can we tell that these nouns are from 2nd declension?"
By the genitive singular -i
3. Now have children open the new book, Libellus de Historia, Latin History Reader A, to Caput I (Head or Chapter
One), pages 11 and 12. Point out that the reading is on page 11 and new vocabulary and transalation helps are on
page 12. Also point out that there are some easy questions to answer once they have read the story.
4. Have children say the words in the glossary to become familiar with them before they read the reading. Then
have them look at the word for book, liber, libri, m. Ask, "In which declension is this word? How do you know?"
It is in the 2nd declension because of its genitive singular, -i.
ALERT: Since our program is now adding translation and reading, we will not be assigning the Chapter
DERIVATIVE WORKSHEETS in the remaining lessons. However, they are beneficial, and you may include
them if you wish as an enhancement or enrichment.
Note: scribo, scribere, "... same personal endings..."-Personal ending is another name for present tense (or verb) ending, which is the name these endings are given in Latin for
Children. Personal refers to the personal pronoun it represents. Therefore, you can expect to see -o, -s, -t, etc., on 3rd-conjugation
verbs, and they will mean the same thing, I, you, he/she/it, etc.

5. Have children examine the list more closely. Ask, "Do you recognize any other declensions?"
Architectura, -ae, f. is in 1st declension. Graecus, -a, -um is an adjective that uses both 1st and 2nd-declension endings.

REVIEW
1. Take some time to review the Present Tense Verb Endings chant in Chapter 2. Ask, "When you see the letter o at the end of a verb, what does it mean?"
It means the subject pronoun I.
2. "Which person is that?"
1st person, singular
3. "What about the letter -t?”
It means he, she, or it.. It is the 3rd person, singular.
INSTRUCTION
1. Have children review the new vocabulary either with the DVD or without it.
2. Open Libellus de Historia, Latin History Reader A to Caput I. Read the first sentence out loud carefully, and have
the children repeat after you. (Remember, it is not a big problem to do it "wrong.”)
3. Say, "Do you think we can read these Latin words? How do think this is translated?" Then give the children a
few seconds to figure out the sentence. This first sentence is fairly straightforward since the word order is
common in both English and in Latin.
ALERT: The following simple rules will assist you with translating these and other sentences in Latin:
1. Read the entire sentence out loud in Latin.
L AT IN | 122
LATIN | Level 1
LESSON
73
2. Look for familiar vocabulary and endings.
3. Many times the verb ending (Primer A, Chapter 2) will be the subject (SP) of the sentence.
4. If the verb ends with - t or -nt, there may be a noun in the nominative case that is the subject (SN).
5. If there is a noun and it is not in the nominative case (i.e., it has a nominative case ending), it will not
be the subject (SN), even if it is the first word of the sentence or even if it begins with a capital letter.
4. Now ask, "Do you know which sentence pattern this is?"
Pattern B. Pattern B is a pattern of "b"eing, etc.
5. “Now let's try sentence 2.” Read the sentence, and have the children repeat after you. Ask, "What kind of
word is amat?"
It is a verb.
6. Have the children translate the form.
loves, he/she/it or he/she/it loves
7. Ask which subject pronoun agrees with Vitruvius Pollio.
He, because Vitruvius Pollio was a man
8. Have the children look at the next two words, architecturam Graecam. Ask, "Could Graecam be the subject of
this sentence? It begins with a capital letter."
No. It ends with -am, which is the singular accusative case ending. ( It does not have a nominative case ending.)
9. The accusative case will be studied further in chapter 20. Architecturam Graecam is the direct object (DO) of
amat. Ask the children to translate the sentence.
He loves Greek architecture.
10. Ask, "Where is the subject (SN or SP)?
It is in the end of the verb, -t.
11. Allow the children to complete the next two sentences on their own. Be ready to assist them.
ALERT: A good way to help children when they have a question is to ask, "What is the ending on that
word?"
12. Translate sentences 3 and 4 with the children.

Have children review and recite the case names and Noun Jobs chant from Chapter 9 in Primer A.
INSTRUCTION
1. Have children recite the Chapter 16 vocabulary and the Imperfect Tense Endings with the DVD.
2. Read the grammar section of Chapter 16 in Primer A out loud with the children.
3. Have children work on the Worksheet page of Chapter 16 in Primer A. Have them continue to trace the
endings with a red pencil. Orally review the endings on the words in the A. TRANSLATION section and the C.
GRAMMAR section.
Answer Key: A. TRANSLATION: 1. arat, 3rd, sing., pres.; 2. novus, nom., sing., m.; 3. ignotus, nom., sing., m.; 4. vito, 1st,
sing., pres. Ask, "Why couldn't this form be a dative or an ablative singular for the word for life in Latin, vita, vitae, f.?" Because
vita is in 1st declension, and its dative singular is –ae, and its ablative is -ā. Also, vito is a verb, and noun endings don't go on verbs. 5. malus,
nom., sing., m.; 7. flamus, nom., sing., m.; 8. aurum, nom. or acc., sing., n.; 9. argento, dat. sing., n.; 10. bracchia, nom. or acc.,
pl., n.; 11. colloquium, nom. or acc.; sing., n.; 6. Ars longa, vita brevis. Say, “The LV, est, was often left out of short sentences in
Latin. The est is often described in Latin grammars as being understood in the context. Ars is a nominative singular in 3rd
declension, which will be studied later. Can you guess its gender by the ending on longa, which is an adjective in 1st and 2nd
declensions?” Feminine
C. GRAMMAR: 1. Nauta navigat.. 2. Vir est nauta.

REVIEW
Have children review and recite the case names and Noun Jobs chant from Chapter 9 in Primer A.
INSTRUCTION
1. Have children recite the Chapter 16 vocabulary and the Imperfect Tense Endings with the DVD.
2. Have children open Libellus de Historia to Caput II, “Hannibal.”. Show them that this chapter in the reader is set
up like Caput I; the reading is first, followed by the glossary and a few questions to answer in Latin.
3. Have them open to the Glossary. Say each Latin word, and have the children repeat them.
ALERT: Both in Primer A and in the glossaries in this reader, the nominative singulars for adjectives and
the genitive singulars for nouns are shortened to their endings. When having the children repeat the
Latin words remember to say the complete forms (e.g., Punicus, Punica, Punicum; copiae, copiarum).
4. Turn back to page 13, and have children read the title and the first sentence out loud. Ask, "Do you recognize
this sentence pattern?" If they have a little trouble, point out the est in the middle of the sentence, and start the
chant, "Pattern B is a pattern of 'B'eing. . ." and allow them to finish it.
Pattern B: SN-LV-PrN
5. Have children translate the sentence.
6. Sentence 2 is like the sentences the children saw in Caput I. Ask, "Does this sentence have a subject (SN)?"
This is a trick question, since the sentence does not have a separate noun in the nominative case, but it has a verb
with a present tense (personal) ending. The subject pronoun is in its verb.
Yes. The subject is the -t on habet, he.

list. This word has been a particular favorite with my younger classes. They think it is fun to say this very long
word. If you break it up into syllables, it is not very hard: ap/pro/pin/quo.
Ask children to comment on anything that is familiar to them on this list.
Answers will vary. Some may be Caesar, populus, and inimici (from past vocabulary study); appropinquo is a 1st-conjugation
verb. . . .
4. Have children turn back to pg. 15. Say, "Who can tell me something he knows about Caesar?"

REVIEW
Review and chant Sum (I am) chant from Chapter 7 in Primer A.
INSTRUCTION
1. Have children watch Chapter 19 on the DVD. Have them recite the Future Tense Endings chant with the
DVD. Allow them to choose the chant or the song.
ALERT: There are two errors in the vocabulary in Chapter 19. There is no fourth principle part for doleo.
Draw a line through dolitum and its translation suffered. (Doliturus, which appears on the DVD, is the
future active participle and is translated about to suffer.) The translation of gavisus sum is correct in
Primer A, but not on the DVD.
2. Have children recite the vocabulary in Chapter 19 on their own with the corrections noted above. Then have
them make vocabulary cards.
3. Have children underline or highlight the stems of the verbs in the Chapter 19 vocabulary. Ask, "In what
conjugation are these verbs? How do you know?"
They are in 2nd conjugation because the stem vowel is -ē.
4. Ask, "In what declension are these nouns? How do you know?"
They are in 2nd declension because the genitive singular is -i.

3. Read the Grammar Page of Chapter 19 in Primer A out loud with the children. Note that in the chart on the
bottom of pg. 85, the emphatic past, which is on the DVD, is not on the chart. That is correct.
4. Have children work on the Worksheet page of Chapter 19. Do not have them trace the endings this time. Ask
the children if anything is familiar about the Chapter Maxim, scribere est agere.
Scribere and agere are the 2nd principle parts of two verbs. They have the letter e as a stem vowel, but it is not ē. Scribere was in the story
about Vitruvius Pollio.

REVIEW
1. Chant the Present Tense Verb Endings chant from Chapter 2.
2. Quickly review what each ending means: -o, I; -s, you; -t, he/she/it; etc.
HOOK: Say, "Remember that puzzle you worked at the beginning of your study of Latin? When you were
working it, each piece had a particular place to go. You could tell where it belonged by how it fit together.
We are now going to see how some endings will fit together to make a sentence work. Translating or
understanding Latin (its meaning) is not dependent on word order, like English is. It depends on word
endings. We have to pay careful attention to the endings to understand the sentence." Allow the
children to work the puzzle again.
INSTRUCTION
1. Have children watch Chapter 20 on the DVD and chant the noun endings and new vocabulary with the DVD.
2. Have children recite the accusative endings horizontally: Accusative singular -am, -um, -um. Accusative plural
-as, -os, -a.
3. Play a quickness game with the children. Say, "What is the masculine accusative plural?” The children quickly
answer -os. You may have them raise a hand before they answer or call out, depending on the number playing.
Drill this way for all of the accusative and nominative endings until the children are pretty quick in their responses.
4. Have children look carefully at the vocabulary. Ask, "From what declension are the first five nouns? How do
you know?"
They are from 1st declension because of the –ae.

4. Read the Chapter 20 Grammar Page in Primer A out loud with the children. At the bottom of the page, have
the children trace the endings on the words with a red pencil and underline the nouns in the accusative case.
Answer Key: Vir lupum oppugnat. Pueri explorant silvam. Dominus cavet patriam.
5. Now have children read each sentence word by word. Vir – the man; lupum – a wolf; oppugnat – attacks (he).
6. Point out the -um at the end of lupum. Say, “That's how we know this word is the object of the verb or the
direct object (DO). But does this word order make sense in English? The man a wolf attacks."
No
7. "That ending, -um, tells us to place this word after the verb when we translate the sentence. The man attacks a
wolf. Does that make sense?”
Yes

4. Ask them if they see anything familiar in the story. Allow them to answer anything related to the text, correct
or not, for a few minutes. Then say, “When we read this page, we will see how much Latin you already know!
Now turn to the glossary.”
5. Have children say the new words in the glossary. Pay attention to the first word on the list, partus. Point out that
learning the genitive singular of nouns is very important. The 4th declension and 2nd declension (masculine) have
similar nominative singulars. The genitive singular for 4th-declension nouns is -ūs (which will be studied in Primer
C). Remind children that the way to tell which endings to use on a noun is by looking at its genitive singular.

vowel of venio, venire is. It is found the same way as for a 1st- or 2nd-conjugation verb. Find the stem by covering
the -re of venire. Ask, “What letter is the stem vowel?”
The stem vowel is -i.

familiar. Give them two or three minutes. Cue them not to peek at the glossary since they will soon be looking at
it.
2. Have children now look at the glossary. Allow them to recite the new words. For each noun, ask them to
notice its declension and gender. In the notes for baptizo, there is the Greek word from which it is derived.
βαπτιζω is pronounced the same as the Latin. You can consider the Latin word a transliteration (letter for letter) of
the present tense form.

He warns the Jews, "Prepare! The Son of God is coming!"
Parate is an imperative. One way the Romans gave commands was to simply say a verb's stem, like para, to one
person. When commanding more than one person, the ending -te was attached to the stem. This simple
command is called the imperative.

How can a noun be an adverb?
It can't in English, can it?
It can in Latin. In fact, any noun can be used as an adverb. In Latin the ablative case often functions without a
preposition when it is used to answer the questions, "how?" and "when?" These are two questions an adverb
answers about a verb. My students laugh, when I tell them the literal translation for aquā above could be "waterly"
which is understood better with a preposition like "by" or "with". This use of the ablative is called the "ablative of
means". To turn nouns into adverbs is not too strange, though, because in English we turn nouns regarding time
into adverbs: hour--hourly, day--daily, time--timely, etc.

OBJECTIVE
To review
TEACHING
Since this is a review chapter, set aside a little extra time for Latin to complete the work pages. There is no new
vocabulary or a quiz at the end of this week, but there is a new reading in Libellus de Historia. Have children work
carefully through the pages from memory first, but then allow them to look up anything they don't quite
remember. Then spend a little time reviewing that particular lesson.
1. Have children watch Chapter 26 on the DVD.
2. Have children work on the first page of Chapter 26 in Primer A.
HOOK: Since this is a review to assist in the mastery of these prepositions, have children play a mimed
quickness game. Say circa, and have the children run around or circle their chairs. Say iuxta, and have
the children stand next to their chairs or each other. Set this mime play up with each preposition so that
the children relate a specific position or movement to a specific preposition. Since some of the
prepositions essentially mean the same thing, have the children offer suggestions for a shape or
formation. Keep a couple of standard rules of play in mind: 1. Look where you are going. 2. Keep your
hands to yourself (unless the position has a hands-on placement). 3. Listen carefully to the teacher,
because the teacher is always right. 4. When the teacher is wrong, default to rule 3.
3. Have children begin working on Chapter 26 in the Activity Book.

3. Have children now look at the glossary. Allow them to recite the new words.
4. For each noun, ask children to notice its declension and gender. Read the notes with each word carefully,
noting that domus is a feminine noun of 4th declension. Keep reminding the children that the genitive singular is
what helps us determine a noun's declension. Ask, “What is the genitive singular for 1st declension?”
-ae
5. “What is the genitive singular for 2nd declension?”
-i
6. Now separate the scholars from the students. Say, “We have seen this one time in the reading notes. What is
the genitive singular for 4th declension?” If no one knows or guesses correctly, congratulate the children for being
able to read a noun whose declension endings have not been formally studied. Tell them that it is -ūs.
7. For each verb, ask the children to notice its conjugation.

Acc/S/F
Nero builds the large Golden House inside Rome.
Notice the noun is sandwiched between its adjectives. In Latin the adjectives usually follow the nouns they modify,
unless the adjective describes a noun's size or number. In other words, if the adjective answers the questions, "How
large?" or "How many?" it usually will be in front of the noun. Other adjectives usually follow the noun.

He builds the Colossus, a large statue of Nero nude, near the Golden House.
Here is something to think about. In PNA, the A stands for "adjective". A possessive answers the question,
"Which one?" which means that it has the "job" of an adjective. In Latin adjectives usually follow the nouns they
describe, so a noun in the genitive case will usually follow the noun it possesses. This is an opposite positioning
from English, in which adjectives and possessive nouns and pronouns occur in front of the nouns.

2. Notice that in the imperfect tense, the 1st-person singular ends in the letter -m, eram. This also happens with
the imperfect tense endings for regular verbs: -bam, -bas, -bat, etc. This letter often occurs on the 1st-person
singular forms of verbs in other conjugations. It is the part of the ending that means I.
INSTRUCTION
1. Have children watch Chapter 27 on the DVD and chant eo, ire and new vocabulary with the DVD.
2. Have children once again underline the stem in each of the verbs. Then ask, “In what conjugation are these
verbs? How do you know?”
They are in the 1st conjugation, because their stem vowel is an -a.

2. Have children open Libellus de Historia to Caput X, “Arcus Titi.” Allow them to survey the text a few minutes,
looking for familiar vocabulary and sentence patterns.
ALERT: The word order in these stories is similar to English word order. This is a device used by the
author to familiarize the children with the endings on the nouns and verbs and to help them equate the
function of the noun or verb with particular endings. Do not get too accustomed to it, but allow the
pattern to train the children's eyes to see a word to the end. (Word order in much written Latin does not
follow English word order, because the meaning and function of most Latin words are determined by
their endings rather than by their placement in the sentence.)
3. Have children now look at the glossary. Allow them to recite the new words. For each noun, ask them to
notice its declension and gender. For each verb, ask them to notice its conjugation.

wishing. Since everything has a name, this infinitive has a name, too. It is called the “complementary infinitive”

Have children complete the worksheets of Chapter 32 in Primer A.
The children have officially and successfully ended the first course in Latin for Children. If you have a little time left
in your school year, it is a good idea to memorize a longer, more meaningful piece of Latin. Following Chapter 32
in Primer A, there is a copy of the Apostles’ Creed. This would be a worthy project to memorize, both in Latin and
in English.
