Recorded course taught by Olivia Jones for Grade School Grade School Latin
Summary

Instructor Access (optional grading support) for Unlimited Access families is available for this course!

We will get back to you in one business day. Thank you for your patience. This is only a temporary solution until this course is available in Caravel. 

How to get the most out of GS Beginning Latin, Part One: 

  • Read this page before watching the first class meeting.

  • It is recommended that a parent watch the weekly class to best assist students in making materials and doing memory work.

This is Part One of a two-part course.The Angelus

Total Classes: 12 at 30 minutes each. 

Course materials: Lingua Latina Book 1: Familia Romana by Hans Orberg, ISBN 13: 9781585104208. This book is used for multiple years of grade school Latin and need only be purchased once. Students may purchase a used copy through bookfinder.com.

A total of 60 blank flashcards for vocabulary words and terms must be available to the student starting on the first day of class. Some means of taking pictures of flashcards and uploading them to Caravel will be required.

A NOTE ABOUT HOMEWORK:

I have labeled the assignments by the days of the week (Monday, Tuesday, etc.) as a suggestion. This suggestion has two benefits: clear tasks for each day and a four day per week school schedule.

On average, students should spend 30-45 minutes outside of class on homework every week.

WEEKLY COURSE RHYTHM

Each week you will complete the following.

  1. Recording: Watch the recording posted this week with a notebook ready to take notes. (After watching you can use the PowerPoint as a reference as needed.)

  2. Flashcards: Make your vocabulary flashcards and study them DAILY. Use my video for help. Upload your pictures if they are due that week.

  3. Quizzes: Re-teach what you learned last class to a family member. Complete your Magister/Magistra quiz. Take your weekly quiz.

NOTE: there is a special project due in Week 12 (the last week).
