  1. We began using Latin For Children this year with my 3rd grader. So far we have really enjoyed. It's been nice because I don't have much of a latin background and it makes it teachable for him anyway. Also, the three year old listens to the chants and videos and has picked up quite a bit of the vocab as well. You can chose either pronunciation. I think it's secular, the only thing I can think of is the first latin phrase you learn is In the beginning was the word.:)

  2. Hi. We've always used miquon and singapore together. Usually we'd do singapore 3-4 days out of the week and miquon the remaining days. Sometimes when working in the singapore I'd find pages in hte miquon that was working on the same subject and have ds do those, but usually we just did them seperate. We've enjoyed doing two becuase sometimes when we come to a skill in one it will be something we covered in the other or one might cover something the other didn't. Good luck.:)

  3. Hi. I have a question hoping someone out there can help me with. I Have a ds 3rd grader and we've always done Singapore and Miquon together. Since Miquon only goes to third grade I'm trying to decide what to replace the miquon with. I've considered doing Horizons or Key to Series but I'm looking for any suggestions. Also, can anyone tell me more about the Key To, does it actually teach the concepts or are the more like extra practice? Any thoughts? Thanks.:)

  4. What is a good latin curriculum for a 3rd grader? I'd like one that uses the part to whole concept(like the one discussed in WTM) and needs absolutely no previous knowledge of latin by the teacher. Thank you, I have no idea where to begin on something like that.

  5. In Shurley if they give you a sentence like

    The damaged ship drifted slowly toward the rocky shore.

    You'd put Sn(subject noun) above ship, V above drifted, Adv above slowly, P above toward, OP above shore, Adj above rocky, A above the, Adj above damaged, () around toward the rocky shore, then draw a line to divide the complete predicate from complete predicate. Does that make sense?

    Thanks again.
