Hey! New CC fan here. It does sound like you are already doing a lot. I’ll do my best to answer a couple of your questions. The timeline song does have Jesus the Messiah. It has some important Old Testament timeline information and early church information. For example today I learned through the timeline song that the Vulgate was the first Latin translation of the entire Bible that Jerome completed. It is the Bible used in the Middle Ages. I’m learning so much along with my kiddos. Also, we are memorizing John 1:1-7 in both English and Latin this year. So today, we talked as a class about how Jesus made everything and we talked about how he is the center of everything. We have a wonderful community and it’s wonderful to have other moms to lean on. We spend about 30 minutes a day doing memorization. I don’t have older kids so I can’t say anything yet about essentials. I hear it is overwhelming to everyone the first couple of weeks but that the kids and moms adjust.

Hi there I have been a part of CC for 15 years. I have graduated 3 kids out of CC. I have been a Challenge Director and for the past two years I have been an Essentials tutor. I have 3 kids currently enrolled in Challenge, Foundations, and Essentials. I hear every thing you are saying and you are right you either “love it” or you “hate it”. The curriculum is heavy and I would agree that at times you can feel overwhelmed with all that you feel needs to be completed. However, the guide and curriculum are a guide. You as the teaching parent get the freedom to use it how it works for your family. We have adopted kids who have special needs academically and I have been able to adjust to their needs and it has allowed a lot of freedom. History is the foundation in almost all subjects. Especially in the Challenge levels where they dig deep into God in all things. The conversation is rich and I have been amazed with how much this process helped my own children solidify their faith. My goal personally is not to produce a cog in the wheel of life and a worker, so with that said academics are not my first goal. I want them to be learners. To have the skills to learn anything they set their minds too. I want to nurture their heart. CC has definitely allowed me to have a space with other people, friends, and community to do just that. I pray you keep exploring and are able to make an informed decision. Praying God shows you what works for your family ❤

I'm wondering the same thing! And thanks for this review!

@@katrina7238I’m wondering this too! I have a 4 year old.

All the info/charts/diagrams…everything you’d need in foundations is found in the book. So you can use it along with each cycle during your foundations years to really help to prepare you for the challenge years. It’s a great way to look and see what they need to know for those years and then work backwards. Hope that helps answer your question. I’ll be doing more previews on my instagram stories coming soon!

Thank you

I’ve been so eager to hear more about this resource! Thank you for your review.

I bought my scribblers curriculum and have been reading through it to see how to use it. This video is a great help to my figuring it all out!
