Classical Conversations- About the Foundations Curriculum- for Newbies

This video explains the Foundations curriculum book, how a parent would use it, and explains some different resources available from CC to add to the curriculum (most of which I don't recommend for a newbie, even though they're great!).

As someone who is starting CC (and starting "official" homeschool- Kindergarten) for the first time this coming school year, this was immensely helpful! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for this, I was very confused and lost when I got the curriculum book. I was told I needed 5 books lol wish I watched this before hand

Hi Emily, I am considering CC for next year (2nd grade). But I'm confused about what curriculum we need to add to it in our homeschool day. How much time would I spend on reviewing the CC material each day, vs. the other subjects, and what other subjects do most CC people have to get other curriculum for? When I first heard about it I thought the CC curriculum was all I would need for my entire homeschool curriculum, so now I'm confused, lol. Thanks for your help!

After finishing my first year I will say that's a great summary and it's quite easy to spend money for all those other things and then not need to use them just in feeling like you need to be prepared so that's really true. it is probably best to get just the things she told you about and the app on your phone. I bought a lot more but I'm not necessarily any better off for it😮 thank you

You mentioned different games to play with the memory cards. Is there a list somewhere that perhaps gives suggestions? I’m just not creative 😅 Thanks so much for your videos!! Super helpful!!

1- I have a 11 yo son that will be starting CC this August. Do you have any experience / suggestion in using Foundation and Essentials at the same time?

2- What does your homeroom look like ? How do you organize your library ?

Thank you in advance for your time. I have watched over 20 videos and yours is top on my list

Hello, do you have a link to get the binder and sheet protector to organize the timeline cards? Thanks. I appreciate what you do to help us, Newbies.

[brendahowell]

Thanks. Where do find memory flip cards?

How do we find information about which Cycle is upcoming for 2023/2024? TIA!

Hi, am I following correctly, is the CC curriculum only memorizing the words each week? There are no workbooks? Just learning the words? I went to a Co-op day and saw the songs and the kids reciting but I didn’t understand what more is done?
