Scope and sequence · Languages
Grade 6 Latin
A quarter with the Roman army and the republic's heroes, Horatius at the last bridge, Caesar's engineers on the Rhine, Cincinnatus at his plow and Hannibal in the Alps, each story opening more of the language: the full first and second declensions, all five cases doing their jobs, adjectives that agree with their nouns, and the verb's first journeys into past and future time.
