aready Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 How do you all use LFC? I am doing my week by week chart and want to know what to do and how many days to schedule it? How much time to schedule? I have a 3rd grader and she is anxious to learn Latin. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forty-two Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Here's an old post that lays out a schedule for LFC: http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1168566&postcount=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beach Mom Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 We follow a schedule similar to the post above, but allow an extra 2 days for each lesson to include the activities in the activity book. I have one in LFC A and one in C. We also use this http://www.classicalacademicpress.com/lfcflash/ site to practice vocabulary. You enter which book and chapter you are using and it runs through the vocabulary words. My DCs like it as an alternate to flash cards.

HSMom2One Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 This is our second year of LFC, and dd is doing super with it. We have followed this 30 minutes per day schedule all along and it works perfectly for her. Mon: Watch DVD instruction, including reciting chants. Skim over first page of lesson in the Primer. Tues: Read first two pages in the Primer. Recite chants/vocabulary 3X with CD. Wed: Do worksheet page in Primer, plus one page in Activity book. Recite chants/vocabulary 3X with CD. Thurs: One-two pages in Activity book (depending on how many there are) Recite chants/vocabulary 3X with CD. Fri: Recite chants/vocabulary 3X with CD. Take Lesson Quiz Have fun! LFC is great for kids and parents. Blessings, Lucinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in WI Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 We use it five days a week, about 20-30 minutes a day. Our schedule is: Mon: Read Vocab list & chapter lesson, then watch DVD Tues: Chant and lesson page Wed: Chant and lesson page Thurs: Chant and lesson page Fri: Quiz My oldest is on LfC C. I assume you're starting with A, which I don't think has as many lesson days, but my memory could be off. Even if you don't have a lesson each day, definitely review the chants each day! Have fun! It is a lot of work and not always fun, fun, fun, but my son really loves Latin now and actually begs to do more Latin translations. What a weirdo! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in WI Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Or, I could have just dittoed HSMom2One's post. We posted at the same time. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verity Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 We are using LfC Primer A with my almost 11 year old and doing pretty much the same as the other posters. I have no Latin background so I'm learning along with my kids and really enjoy it. Monday LfC Dvd, read lesson Tuesday - practice chant for the week, activity page Wednesday - " " Thursday - practice chant for the week (sometimes listen to all the chapters we have done up to this point for refresher) Complete Lesson Friday - Chant and quiz. Just this week I found the Latin Flashdash on CAP's website and my son did the computer vocabulary game for review. It is very well done!

elegantlion Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 We use LfC 4 days a week. We are on primer B, the weeks are a tad longer. Mon: DVD vocab/read through grammar page Tues: cd chant/worksheet page Wed: off Latin (this is our day to focus on art/science/logic) Thurs: cd chant/worksheet 1-2 pages Fri: chant/finish any worksheets/quiz We used the free worksheets from CAP last year and I have printed them this year, we just haven't gotten to them yet. We have the activity guide and he picks a page a week to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
