Everyone has the CD to listen to the Gloria in the car, but here is a link to the file in case you'd like to listen on the computer or iPad.
The link below will bring you to a PDF of the Gloria in modern notation. The numbers along the left side correspond to our units of memory work. I'd suggest printing out a few copies to keep around the house. I ended up making binders for each of the kids and myself to keep this and other memory work helps together. We go over it all 2-3 times per week as part of morning time in addition to reviewing it in the car with the CD. So far it's working well.

All children is grades K-8 are working on this in music class on co-op day, however we are only able to spend 10-15 minutes on it each week. That won't be enough time for them to learn it well enough to stick with them. So the more they can practice at home, the better. Last week, we announced that those who learn this and our other Latin chants well will be invited to sing in the schola for our First Communion Mass on May 2nd.
When we work on it in class, we sing a small part and have the children repeat. With the K-2 students, we've been having them stand and move their bodies up and down as the notes move up and down. Some students also enjoy moving their hands up and down to follow the music as well. Have fun with practicing at home, and they're sure to keep it in the recesses of their mind for years to come.
