Latin Primer 2 (Teacher Edition): Teacher Edition

Over half of the English language is derived from Latin. <br><br> aquarium - <i>aqua,</i> water<br> fable - <i>fabula,</i> story<br> clamor - <i>clamo,</i> I shout<br> dolphin - <i>delphinus,</i> dolphin <br>narrator - <i>narro,</i> I tell <br><br> These and thousands of other words we use every day keep this "dead" language-a language of kings and poets, of scrolls and secrets-alive. And this means that when we study Latin, we're not just learning about Rome- we're learning about ourselves. Rediscover this time-honored language, which led classical education pioneer Dorothy Sayers to declare that "Latin should be begun as early as possible ... when the chanting of <i>'Amo, amas, amat'</i> is as ritually agreeable to the feelings as the chanting of 'eeny, meeny, miney, moe.' <br><br> In <i>Latin Primer 2,</i> Martha Wilson strengthens elementary school students (grades 4 and up) in the basics they discovered in <i>Latin Primer 1,</i> and leads them steadily into new territory. Revised and expanded, this text spotlights the fundamentals of classical Latin: vocabulary for everyday experiences like names of animals; verb and noun endings; adjective and adverb use; questions and commands; and other early grammar essentials. This updated Teacher's Edition includes new teacher's notes, weekly quizzes, and a full glossary.
