New School Year Plans

I've finalized my plans for the upcoming school year. I have set goals for each language. I believe each of these goals is attainable.

Arabic - Both boys will recognize each letter of the alphabet and it's pronunciation through the Alif Baa textbook and DVD. They will be able to write each letter correctly with assistance from Arabic without Tears Book 1. Elijah will develop a vocabulary of 200 words demonstrated through flashcards when given the English word. Luke will develop a vocabulary of 200 words demonstrated through flashcards when given the Arabic word.

Mandarin - Both boys will learn the pinyin alphabet and practice the four tones though Chinese Made Easy for Kids Book 1. They will demonstrate a vocabulary of 200 words through flashcards where Elijah is given English words and Luke is given Mandarin words.

Greek - Complete Hey Andrew Teach Me Some Greek Book 1 and be able to recite the Greek alphabet, recognize each letter and the sound it makes. They will also be able to read 20 simple Greek words.

French - They boys will demonstrate a 50 word vocabulary through activities in Ecoutez! Parlez! Learning French for Kids.

French is a new one. They have basically only had exposure to the language this past year. I'll post on how things go.
