Interesting that you say that. My daughter took Latin last year (5th Grade)
and now takes "Latin at Lunch" in 6th Grade.
Not to get too OT, but our district (Syosset CSD in New York) starts
language in kindergarten and each year of grammar school exposes the kids to
a different language (Chinese, Russian, Spanish, French, Italian and Latin).
