The memory work is separated into three by time periods; so while some kids have had the information before, it was unfamiliar to most of the older kids. Of course our community has lots of new families thanks to Common Core. It was an easy adjustment and my kiddos Have LOVED it from the beginning. It is the BEST day of our week. They really love the presentation time, even my extremely shy one. We do listen routinely to the CDs in the car so we are familiar with each week's content before class (usually). Next year I will add in Essentials for my current fourth grader. Wish I had had an education like this!Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18046922492722835538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-59743945958120116822013-04-18T12:55:42.134-04:002013-04-18T12:55:42.134-04:00Thank you for all the information on Classical Con...Thank you for all the information on Classical Conversations. I am interested in the curriculum, but have decided to do it at home for now. Any suggestions on what resources are needed to accomplish this?

Yes, you're right. I hadn't thought/known about the universality of CC when moving from one school to another. One more question, if I may: how does CC work for children who do not start the program at an early age? Is it possible to jump in the second or third stage?<br />angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00688991209865856563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-20587128146282809472013-04-17T12:47:54.708-04:002013-04-17T12:47:54.708-04:00Last year I looked into joining our local group bu...Last year I looked into joining our local group but it seemed so overwhelming. My understanding of the group is now better after reading what you wrote. I'm still not sure if this is a good fit for my family but for sure I will be reconsidering joining. I believe our local group has a parent meeting coming up in the near future. So glad you took time to write so much about Classical Conversations.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496784583960011452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-89849953054432562982013-04-16T07:46:06.066-04:002013-04-16T07:46:06.066-04:00Thank you so much for all the info on CC.
