This week we have been learning our Latin Greeting Words. The children love the music and it has been a great routine for the end of the day circle time. Words we learned so far are;
- salve- hello
- vale- goodbye
- discipuli- students
- magister/magistra-teacher
When the children enter or leave our school they have been addressing me as magistra, or their friends as discipuli. Teaching the greetings allowed me to present a grace and courtesy lesson. They learned how to shake each others hands when greeting using eye contact. I can see how guiding the children through our Latin curriculum can lead to big things in music, language development, and grammar.
