Melissa in St Louis Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I would like to start using Latin for Children A this year, and I'm wondering how exactly it is set up. I know there is a DVD that we would watch part of on Mondays, but I'm not clear on what is scheduled for the other days. Thanks so much for any advice! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Keeper Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 On the Classical Academic Press website (classicalacademicpress.com) there is sample sechedule for the books; this same info is also in the Answer Key for the workbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cschnee Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 We listen to the cd (chants of the vocab) and watch the video the first day. On subsequent days we review the vocab and verb tenses, do the worksheet pages in the workbook and the other sheets in the activity guide. On the last day, we do the chapter quiz. We make our our flashcards and review vocab when we are in the car, or on the bus, etc...Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverMoon Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 It's set up so you can design what your week will look like. The schedule in the front is just their suggestion. A typical week at our house looks like this. Day 1: DVD lesson, do the new chant a few times Day 2: Read the lesson in the book, do the first side of the worksheet in the primer, chants Day 3: Do the other side of the worksheet, usually derivatives, and an activity page, chants Day 4: Do whatever activity pages are left, or play around on http://www.headventureland.com Day 5: Quiz My oldest doesn't care much for most of the activity book pages, and would rather poke his eyes with a spork than do a crossword to practice anything related to school. He just writes in the translation work on those pages, or reviews it orally with me. My second child however, adores the activity guide and really needs the extra practice it gives.

Narrow Gate Academy Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I took the sample schedule for the week and made lesson plans the first year we did LfC A and will be using them again this year with my second DD. You can download them from a link on the right hand column of my blog. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.z.ichigo Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Don't forget to make time for translating from the history reader, which begins around half-way through the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in St Louis Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 Thank you Silver Moon, Narrow Gate Academy and s.z.ichigo! Is the history reader optional? Is it too good to miss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
