At what age did you start this curriculum? I have a 3 year old who will be 4 in January. Wondering if I am starting too soon.
@PursuingPeace 7 күн бұрын
It really is up to your child. Some of mine were fine to start at that age and some weren't. If you do start at this age, I would recommend doing two years of preschool because hitting kindergarten at 4 is probably too early for most. But again.... it's up to you. You know them best. And you can always start and slow down when needed. 😉❤️

Thank you so much for your help ! Can you help me with the best decision , I’m actually using my fathers world the full curriculum, and we just started our 2nd year in cc , the first year we didn’t use too much of the cc at home but this year I want to implement the cc curriculum at home as well , my question is , did I need to complement with a full curriculum or just math and language? I’m thinking about using tgtb for 1s grade . Thank you !

You just need math and reading/LArts. Use the CC memory work as your spine. Then get some good books to go along with what you're learning in history and science. Are you in a community?

My kids loved read alouds when they were younger. It wasn't always peaceful....but they were listening. I had them cuddle up with me on the couch with picture books. When it came to chapter books I had bins with Legos or Geosticks or quiet toys like that. They could play while they listen. Just like anything.... it's a muscle that needs practice. If you do it enough, they'll learn how it works. 😉 Hope this helps! ❤️

We actually use claritas publishing which is similar to CC but can be done without community so it’s easily done at home. It syncs up to story of the world. Cross seven is the streaming service for it and has a lot more bible I think. I have loved it. It has about 9 memory pegs and no art. They do have a grammar program and science. Just wanted to share with those that may not want to do CC community.

Thanks, Dina! Great inspiration! Practical question:... Do you do AM Basket BEFORE core work/individual TGTB subjects? We are having the hardest time "fitting" everything in... Between our AM Basket+Memory Work and one family subject (looped), we're pretty much at lunch time already, and then to tackle individual L.A.+Math (one lesson each x three kids), that brings us to 3pm or later, and I am tanked! Way too long of a school day and/or rushed. Our curriculum and schedule looks similar to yours... Are you also schooling that late in the day? 🫠

Hi! We start our Morning Basket at 9am and go until 10:30am. Then we do LA and Math and usually end around 1pm. We have a late lunch so I let them get snacks in between subjects. Can any of your kiddos do their LA and Math on their own? Or at least part of it?
