Amanda's Mommy Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 We are going to be using Prima Latina for 4th grade. Can someone tell me what your schedule is like, I'm completely lost. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Here's what our schedule for Prima Latina looked like... Monday: Introduce Lesson Tuesday: CD Drill, Speaking & Writing/Learn Wednesday: Lesson Questions & Translate Thursday: Review Questions & Fun Practice This worked out very well for us. It's similar to the schedule suggested in the front of the guide. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2_girls_mommy Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 We did it in about 3 days a week usually: First day: listen to C.D. of lesson, talk about the lesson, do flashcard review 2nd day: listen to C.D, review flashcards, dd did the first page of workbook work 3rd day: listen to C.D., review flashcards, finish up workbook All Week: We use the practical latin sayings and prayers daily. Each Latin class period, we reviewed as much of the practical latin and speaking that we could do (saying hello teacher and students, stand up, sit down, etc. in Latin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Ok, I'm going to get in here on this thread because we're starting that this fall, too. But I've got the DVD. Anyone do the DVD? I've watched a couple of lessons and I'm wondering if the people who do the DVD watch the lessons in part or in whole? Do you watch it more than once a week? Or just once and then review on your own the rest of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each Latin class period, we reviewed as much of the practical latin and speaking that we could do (saying hello teacher and students, stand up, sit down, etc. in Latin) This was our schedule too. I started using the DVD with my first child, but quickly found I could teach it in a shorter amount of time. We didn't like the DVD so just used the CD. Really, Prima is mostly just vocab, it's not difficult to teach at all... I had no previous Latin experience. That being said, I'm trying the DVD for the first time for Latina Christiana I (I taught it without for my oldest) and First Form... hope they are a bit better... I need to lower my teaching load! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladydusk Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 We use the Prima Latina DVD. We do Latin 3 days a week. My daughter watches the lesson on Monday. On Tuesday, she does the first of the two review pages. On Wednesday, she does the second of the two review pages. Every day, she and I do flash cards both Latin to English and English to Latin. (We do the whole stack all the way through with her reading English & telling me Latin and me reading Latin telling her English ... then we do the other way.)
