Here is my printable latin noun declension chart to go along with my verb conjugations chart I have done in a previous post.
Here's the same info from the last post in case you've arrived directly at this post, instead of the blog. :) (Does that even make sense?) . . . . . I'm working on getting a packet together that contains all 5 declensions, the noun cases, a blank sheets and cards to place for a review. For now, here is the 2nd declension. I print these on card stock and (for now) put them in page protectors. I file them in my CC Review notebook under Latin and pull out whatever week we are on. Its hanging on my mini magnetic boards....until my big one arrives. More on that next week....
There is really no better substitute for learning Latin declensions and conjugations than copying the forms over and over. Learning hard things can be tedious work! Anything that is tedious, I believe, needs to be jazzed up a bit with some fun colored pens, and it can become a game. This year I'm helping my…

In our last lesson, we discussed the genitive case. We learned that there is a preposition inside the genitive case. It isn’t completely evident, but it’s implied, and it comes out during translation into English. The dative case also has this going on! Though Latin has a lot of prepositions, some of the ones we use most often in English are right there inside the cases. The Flexible Indirect Object In English, we have two ways of denoting that something Continue Reading...

With our new baby on the way, I've been working on ways to automate the review process this year. In the past, my boys have fallen behind in their weekly review because, frankly, mom lacked a plan. We tried using the Online Tutorials on the C3 Website last year. However, I found them cumbersome at best. I don't like that for each week you have to go through multiple pop-up menus and then back through them again to switch subjects. I would prefer the review by week, not by subject. So this year I bought the CD http://www.classicalconversationsbooks.com/cy3pocd.html At first, I was disappointed that it too was only by subject, but then I realized you could open the files in Power Point and edit them. Yay! Here's what I did to create weekly review videos for the boys. I opened all the subject files for the first 12 weeks and copied them into one Power Point presentation. Next I ordered the slides by week. Then I parsed this presentation into 12 individual Power Point presentation by Week. Next I duplicate each slide and then duplicate the whole presentation. So in essence they review each subject twice and then it repeats. I saved it to a video format and uploaded the video to a private YouTube channel(I do this because the TV/Computer I plan on having the boys use for viewing is a Mac and cannot play Powerpoint slides or apparently *.wmv files). Here's what Week 1 looked like when it was done. Its my plan to have the boys watch the videos while eating breakfast and possibly lunch. Each video is only about 10 minutes long. I'd share all the weeks I've created but apparently there's a potential copyright issue. However, once you start I think you'll find it goes pretty fast. For timeline review, I've found two Youtube videos I'll be using. The videos contain all 20 weeks, but since this is the boys third year in CC I'm not worried about them working on them all at once and spoiling the surprise per say. The first has zoom-ins of all the timeline pictures and pauses to allow the student to repeat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPhyqZaKdW8 The second is simply a Smart Mama signing all 160 points in the timeline. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1qQ3Ay0qXo&playnext=1&list=PL61160765D8C147A9
