Featured Post from Last Week

I always love seeing how other people make their timelines.  Last week The Paper Maid shared about the timeline that she is using with her kids. I'm gearing up to start one next year again (after doing an incomplete one a couple years ago when my kids were younger),  I'm hoping that my son will be old enough to really benefit from it this time around.  Do you make a timeline?  I'd love to hear about what you use and how you do it!

I have really been enjoying Latin this year.  I feel like I am getting a basic grasp on it and and I think my son is too!  We have been using materials from Classical Academic Press, so I was excited to see that Mystie (from Simply Convivial) has a giveaway for some of their products!  If you have any interest in Latin at all, check out her post and enter the giveaway.

I have thoroughly enjoyed visiting The Unplugged Family's links these past few weeks.  Have you stopped by yet?  Last week she was sharing her thoughts on the importance of creating atmosphere in our homes.  I am not naturally bent in a way that thinks about those things, so I am always awed and inspired by posts like this!

Did you see the post from The Simply Blog last week about keeping a reading journal?  I love the idea of keeping a journal (some people call it a Commonplace Book) of quotes that you find inspiring.  I have yet to start one, but I really want to.  Karen shares with us a little about the book she has started.  Check it out if you didn't see it last week!

Memorizing John 1 in Latin - Helpful Resources

This post contains an affiliate link to a product that I use.

My children and I have been memorizing John 1:1-7 in both English and Latin as part of our learning this year.  The English part was not so hard, but Latin is a bit more of a challenge!  I am so impressed at how well my children have picked up on it, and it is so neat to hear them speaking in Latin.

We have found a few resources to be helpful in our learning and I wanted to share them with you.

Learning John 1 Through Song

Learning through song is always so helpful.  Our knowledge shouldn't stay in song form, but it is very effective for initially memorizing information.

Here is the song that we have used to learn John 1.  There are others out there, so search on youtube or Google if you don't like this tune.

John 1 Scripture Folder

Pam (from ED Snapshots) has created a great resource for helping kids to learn John 1:1-7 in Latin.  This file folder puzzle has 3 different levels for your child to practice what they have learned.  Children review by putting the words from the verse in the right order.  I love the version where they sit the words into the right sized boxes.  It is just enough help to encourage them on their way.

My kids did this last week and it was a good challenge.  My favorite part was hearing them sing the song over and over to themselves in order to figure out which word to look for next.  My son only did a few lines of the puzzle, but he must have sung the son 20 times!  What great practice!

If you are learning John 1 like we are, make sure to check out this John 1 Scripture Folder.

Listening to a Beautiful Presentation

This is a video of from Classical Academic Press of Christopher Perrin reading the whole chapter of John 1 in Latin.  It is a beautiful presentation.  Take a minute to listen.  You'll be glad you did!

I loved this post from my co-host, Classically Homeschooling.  So many people are making decisions about what they are doing next year, and I thought that these lessons from a veteran homeschool mom were so encouraging!  Hopefully they help you, or encourage you in some way as you head down the home stretch of this school year!
