Hello everyone,

I have agreed to teach Latin to elementary students next fall. The students will be K - 2 (I think, not final). I was asked to use Prima Latina as a spine to compliment the classes offered to the older children, which use Latina Christiana I and II (taught by someone else). Oh, and the class will be about 20 students, with both day school and homeschooled students enrolled.

I did teach Prima to my oldest son. He was an early reader and we did it over two years, K - 1. I know I will need to adjust or modify the program to fit a more diverse class.

I am specifically looking for suggestions to supplement Prima and make it more interesting. I would especially like to add a visual element. That is something which Memoria's products lack. I don't think we will be using the Prima DVDs, as the other teacher and older students really disliked the DVDs for LC I.

So, comments or suggestions are welcome. Fortunately I have tons of time to get ready.
