Latin Notebook/Lapbook -- First 3 Pages

I was surprised that there weren't many lapbook or notebook pages for Latin online because that seems like such a natural.   So much repetition is necessary for language study (particularly Latin) that building semi-permanent review pages seems like time well spent.

I am working on my own but it took a long time just to do the first page.  I hope it will become easier over time as I figure out what templates to use for what kind of information.  

I am still a beginner at lapbooking, which means I can usually figure out how to do already-planned lapbooks, and even tweak the details, but I have a hard time figuring out layouts from scratch.  

For these pages I used A First Latin Book for Catholic Schools
(public domain book)

One of the nice things about making a Latin notebook, though, is that you can potentially pull pages from all sources.  I have Minimus, and Latina Christiana and an Usborne picture dictionary of Latin, and my older son is using Latin for Beginners.   There is no reason why I can't draw from them all so long as I introduce the grammar in a logical way (but most resources introduce things in the same essential order). 

Page 1 : First Declension and some Vocabulary


Here are two printables I made for Lesson 1 of the First Latin Book.  

• Latin First Declension
• Latin Vocabulary Lesson 1

I wanted to use pictures for the vocabulary.  I was able to find almost all of the clipart at Clipart Etc.  

You can see what the results look like below.

The declension template is complex, and I am not sure if I will do it that way next time. 

Here you can see one of the vocabulary pieces open.    You can arrange the mini-book either to show the picture on top, or the Latin word on top, so the child can memorize in different ways. 

Here is an earlier version I worked on before deciding that I liked the vocabulary words to be separated from each other.    However, it is possible to use the printable I made in this way. 

Page 2:  First Conjugation, and some Verbs


For this page, I used Latina Christiana Flashcards (Quizlet)

and made this printable Latin Lesson 2 --First Conjugation

page 3:  Present Tense of Irregular Verb "Sum" and Vocabulary


The materials for this lesson come from this printable I made:  Latin Vocabulary Lesson 2
I wasn't quite finished with the notebook page when I took this picture.

Conjugation of Sum

I made a step book for the conjunctions and adverbs in this lesson:

Other Resources
  I made a worksheet based on the First Latin for Catholic Schools, Lessons 1-2.  It does not presently have an answer key.   

However, I am slowly entering it into Quizlet where there are answers.
 Here is the first section on Quizlet.  
Here is the second section on Quizlet. 

I intend to add the rest during our winter holidays.
