Foundations for Latin for Children B

This course is designed as a transitional course for students intending to enter Latin for Children B in autumn 2023. In it, we will be reviewing five foundational concepts from Latin for Children A: 1st and 2nd conjugation verbs, 1st and 2nd declension nouns, 1st and 2nd declension adjectives, irregular and compound verbs, and prepositional phrases. The course will give students an opportunity to further solidify the foundation they have set in their studies thus far in preparation for more advanced coursework.

For students who completed Latin for Children A at Scholé Academy, this course will be a delightful review of familiar grammar and vocabulary. It will reactivate their language learning brains after time away with engaging discussions, fun activities, and fresh insights. For students who struggled with elements of Latin for Children A but still want to advance in their language studies, this course provides an opportunity for remedial work to shore any gaps in their understanding before introduction of new material in the fall. For students who are new to the Latin for Children program or Scholé Academy entirely, this course will provide a hinge between their previous Latin studies and their entrance into the lower school Latin sequence. This course will ease their transition in the fall, allowing them to connect material between programs and integrate themselves into the Scholé Academy classroom ahead of time.

Amanda Reeves, Lower School Lead Latin Instructor, has a BA in Greek and Latin from Stanford University, where she received recognition in her department for both her enthusiasm for the classical world as well as her excellence in scholarship. After finishing her degree, she spent a year living abroad in Rome, Italy, designing and facilitating short-term study-abroad programs for students studying Latin through the Paideia Institute for Humanistic Study. She currently lives in New Haven, Connecticut, but as an avid traveler, can more times than not be found in Italy, Brazil, or anywhere else she thinks would be interesting to get to know. It is one of the great joys of her life to pass along her enthusiasm for Latin to her elementary, middle, and high school students. Having learned Latin online herself, Amanda is passionate about distance learning and enjoys integrating traditional grammar and translation methods with spoken Latin to produce the best educational experience for her students. She has taught and tutored Latin online for over a decade and particularly enjoys seeing how each unique student’s personality shapes the learning environment. When she is not exploring the world, she spends her time waxing poetic about the Parthenon Marbles and Stanford football, always with a strong cup of coffee in hand. magistrareeves@gmail.com
