Ooo. All that sounds very, very familiar.
Yes, I’m sure it does. Love your gravatar, I love the T-shirts they make. I have one or two myself. My favorites are the soccer one and the camping one.
I just went scrambling for anything decent to replace Santa on a motorcycle, it being “outdated” and all.
Say, what’s your source for all those derivatives? Is there a wonderful website that gives derivatives for each lesson in PL? Or LC1 for that matter, since I’m getting ready to promote one of my little classes? Or must I continue to work for them? **shudders**
Um, source? Just my head and my smarts and all my knowledge and five years of Latin under my belt and when that fails there’s the dictionary. I think some of them may even be in the book. You mustn’t work for them. Make them work for you. I may ditch my ‘curriculum’ and just roll merrily along with the flow. I wanted to give them a basis in church latin, but I remember my days of study and I’m bored teaching them. I want the to get the real stuff. I’m torn again. I think HomeGirl can go on with this for now, but I’ll take the other two down a different road of strict memorization and chants: amo, amas, amat, amamus, amatis, amant; puella, puellae, puellae, puellam, puella, puellae, puellarum, puellis, puellas, puellis.
My husband teaches Latin to 4th through 10th graders all day, and they’ve been through many curricula until he arrived on the scene. He uses Ecce Romani (published by prentice hall) with the elementary schoolers, supplemented by lots of chanting and they are all pretty happy with that (parents and students, that is).
He gets lots of free stuff from Prentice Hall because he’s a teacher and we’ve often speculated that if one named their homeschool and sent them an email saying the school was considering using their curricula, they’d probably send free books to anyone!
Thanks Kristen, I just might try that. We do have a name for our homeschool - it’s even registered. I like free stuff.
