Expectations and Homework

The new weekly lesson will be introduced and students will begin to fill out the student workbook during class. Success in Latin is very much dependent on memorization. Therefore, students will be expected to spend 10-15 minutes per day memorizing vocabulary and grammar rules. Making flashcards will be helpful to memorize the content, and, if time allows, flashcards will be made in class. Otherwise, flashcards will be assigned as homework. To practice speaking Latin, students will be expected to recite various things in front of peers.

About the Course

This course is an introduction to Latin. It is never too late to learn Latin, and this class is the perfect place to start. In First Form Latin, students will learn grammar and vocabulary. Learning the vocabulary will show students connections to words in the English language and, as a result, will help them better understand the origins of English words. In Latin, grammar is taught in a systematic way and will help students gain further understanding of the English language as well. After completing this course, students will be able to move on to Second Form Latin and/or study any romance language starting with a solid foundation.

About Lindsey

For the 2025/2026 year I will be teaching First Form Latin, Second Form Latin, and World Geography.

Hi! This is my first year teaching at Cornerstone and I am really excited to get started! I have been homeschooling for 9 years and teaching is one of my favorite things to do. Growing up I struggled in school, which has in turn fueled my passion for making education engaging and fun.

I graduated from Western Kentucky University with a Bachelor’s in Nursing. I worked in postpartum care for four years teaching new moms how to care for their babies. After having my second child, I was able to stay home full time with my family. Once I began my homeschooling career, I became involved with other homeschool co-ops, acting as a teacher and leader.

I live in Greenville, IN with my husband, 3 boys, a dog, cats, chickens, and ducks. We love to be outside as much as we can. In my spare time I enjoy decorating my home, thrifting, and reading.

I enjoy meeting you and your children this fall!
