6th grade truly is the best grade of all to teach because they're young enough to be unabashedly enthusiastic about things but also old enough to get really fucking weird about it. i had a 6th grader request his latin name be "atreus" (not a name on the list i gave them) and when i explained to the class that atreus's family had been cursed for generations and that atreus killed his nephews and fed them to his brother, they all started shouting that they wanted to have a name like that one

shoutout to my friend who majored in classics and out of sheer enthusiasm, chanted the first line (and only the first line) of the iliad in ancient greek every day out loud to me for months. to this day I get it stuck in my head in perfect dactylic hexameter
