Wheelocks lesson overview

My daughter and I still have to find a rhythm for breaking our Wheelock's studies into a regular pattern. I've been playing with this. Yes we are doing all the exercises and I could do it shorter, but so far the practice seems to have helped us cement in the vocab.

Day 1 Read through the new lesson and include notes in our latin grammar books. Copy vocab into vocab section.

Day 2 Review drill cards Grammatica section of workbook

Day 3 Drill sheet / Exercitationes section of workbook

Day 4 Drill Cards, Vis Verborum section of workbook and practice and review exercise from Wheelocks

Day 5 Drill Sheet Lectiones (Readings) from Workbook

Day 6 Drill cards Sentetiae small readings

Day 7 Drill sheet. Sentetiae main readings

Day 8 Translation exercises from Lingua Angelica or 38 Latin Stories.

For the drill sheet only include new words and missed words. That should make it a manageable size.

Latin

Latin is the subject most due for tinkering. Three kids, three different levels, with a mix of success. I really do want to try and bring the three kids together. For the next week that is easier sad than done.

Thus far we have used Memoria Press- Latina Christiana, and Henle. Sounds Good, but in practice it hasn't been great. Perseverance describes our course more than delight or mastery. So where to. For my youngest its going to be business as usual next week. He's one week away from finishing and it would be good to have him do that.

So Latina Christiana 25 stands as an ongoing lesson.

For the rest of us we will continue as per normal this week. Working through where we are at and then if all goes well in Greek we will merge our studies and work together. Using Wheelock's as a base and adding in a bit of Christian content from Henle ( because we can) Lingua Angelica and Lingua Biblica. It should be fun. That's the aim.
