Currently, this page is mainly going to be for the 7th grade; however, I will make note of pages that are and will be useful for 6th grade.  This search is proving to be rather difficult.  It may be a while.

Surprisingly, there are a several good websites that have to do with Latin grammar.  I will list them below and attempt to give them ratings on how useful they seem to me.  5 is best, 1 is worst.  

1. The best site was a place called CyberLatin, but it seems to have disappeared.  Absolutely would have been a 5.  The teacher who runs that site uses the same book that we do.  Too bad.
2. There is a site at a place called about.com.  It has a Latin page, but I don't know if I trust it just yet, but you can wander at see what you think.  http://latin.about.com.  Unfortunately, I think this is a site for advertising only.  There is no real new material, but it does have some links to good sites.  I may just review them instead.
   1. One of the links I chose from the above took me to a page of Latin questions and answers.  Some of it is a little beyond what we are doing, but you can get some valuable grammar info here.
   2. This page is something some college math teacher put together to help him read some 19th century math texts that were written in Latin.   He has really done a great job with organization, but, like most Latin links out there, some of it is way beyond what we need.  Take what you need, ignore the rest.  Click here.
   3. A list of grammatical terms with their definitions is always helpful.  This is one with examples in English and a few Latin ones.  There is also a link to a verb paradigm (a big, fancy word for examples) at the bottom.  Very helpful.
   4. The guy who wrote this page really likes studying Latin.  The first half of this (very long) page is all about why people should study Latin (and he's right).  The second half is all of the grammar that is needed for nouns, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, and verbs.  It is lengthy, but it is extremely good.  If you get stuck, scroll down a bit and keep reading.  He explains well.  Oh yeah, there is another page of stuff, too.   As I continue to explore this page, I found all kinds of cool stuff.  Click around.  
3. Here is one link I found for now - it is a Latin dictionary that you can download at:  http://users.erols.com/whitaker/words.htm.  Read the whole page first and get what you need.  Don't rely on it though.  Nothing is more important that vocabulary  (and reading the directions and endings).
4. I am currently investigating some pages with Latin language links to provide the most comprehensive list available.  That would be cool.
