Latin for Littles: The Color Red

Latin with Littles: Color Green

Today in Latin class, our younger students learned about the color 

"Viridis!"

The listening stage started with reading a book about colors that had a lot of focus on green. I chose "Green Bear," by Alan Rogers. Another good book might be "Where Is The Green Sheep?" by Mem Fox. As we read the story, we replaced the English word green with our Latin word viridis. 










Afterwards, we had a worksheet. We sat down and went through all the pictures and decided which pictures are viridis or another color. Some were of the opinion that cats should be viridis, but we chose to leave it for today. They were given a green crayon and then colored their viridis items. 

We then took our lesson to the tactile stage, we got our hands messy and used viridis paint. They had to say the color for me as we made their handprint. The handprints will be cut out and used as grass for a bulletin board on our Latin colors. 

Lastly, we went outside to the playground and found items in our world that are viridis. I would count off and then they would dash to touch something and call out "VIRIDIS!," as they touched the item. They also collected items from around the playground that we recognized as viridis.
