This is ONE method of doing this. The only requirement is that directors ask 25% of each subject, so there are endless ways to accomplish that.

I forgot to mention- kids going to Memory Master will be responsible for knowing all 24 weeks of information, even before it's been presented in Community. Keep this in mind as you will need to present this info to your kid in advance so they can master it.

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!).

Honestly, if I had just two sets of supplies, it would probably be sufficient for a community. So if you’re just getting set up, consider getting just two sets and have the tutors share them.

Classical Conversations Setting up the Essentials Curriculum
This has been so helpful! We will be a first time CC family and my 4th grader is starting Essentials. This video has eased my mind about Essentials. Thanks so much!
Thanks. Where do find memory flip cards?

Would you consider sharing your tutor self eval document, system for science planning and welcome letter by chance?

Is it possible to try CC for half a semester starting out to see if that will work. I’m trying to get my mind around how to incorporate CC with our already existing TG&TB curriculum.
You cannot pay for a partial year, but you can certainly drop out if it isn't working for you. It would be best to stick it out for the entire year before making a determination but certainly you can do what you want.
@@emilythehomeschooler thank you 😊
Do you supplement with any other curriculum or do you only do essentials at home?
I really like Fix it Grammar. We only do level ONE and it might take us two years to complete. I do it while doing Essentials, usually starting year 2. It's just added practice identifying what words are doing in a sentence AND its dictionary skills! Love it!
Thank you so much for this video and your other Essentials videos. You break it down so well and after I got the curriculum in my hands I was able to understand it more. I'll probably watch this again right before we start. 😂
Hi first time director here! Did you get the foldable geography tables from the bookstore? Or is there another place to order a larger amount? Thank you for your help!
yes, you can only get them from CC's bookstore.
Do you think a family can start CC with a 4th and 6th grader? Both boys struggle with reading (6th grader more than 4th). Would they both start Essentials?
For sure! Happens all the time. Yes they would both start Essentials. You can read TO your struggling reader and write for them as well (with them dictating to you). Reading ability does not have to hamper success in Essentials- you can help them as much as they need it!
Do you incorporate the spelling? I know mine will need spelling
I do. The Essentials curriculum does include spelling, and some use it. It's not done in class at all so is just an optional part to use at home. I have used that, All About Spelling, and most recently, IEW's Phonetic Zoo spelling program.
Thank you so much for this video! Very helpful!
When they do the sentence are you using a notebook for that to write it down in?
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.
Sure! Find them here- amzn.to/3KtOOZm
Thank you so much
So helpful for a 1st year mom like me! Thank you 😊🙏
Thank you so much for all your counsel and advice! A very much needed simple organization for us first year essentials families!
😆 you’re boy’s smile is charming! ❤
Do you recommend the IEW TEACHING WRITING STRUCTURE AND STYLE ( DVD & PREMIUM CONTENT) for newbies to help comprehend this technique ?
Most definitely. It is a key part of being successful with the program. Each community owns a set of those DVDs and holds group viewings so you don’t have to own your own set if you don’t want to. Contact your director or essentials tutors to learn more about that.
@@emilythehomeschooler Thank you very much for your guidance. I appreciate you.
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
1) yes, most people with students age 9-11 do both Foundations and Essentials at the same time. That’s the intention of how to do CC at those ages. I have had that scenario in my family for the last 5 years. It’s great! 2) you should follow me on Instagram @emilythehomeschooler. I show my school room and all kinds of things and share about homeschooling with CC a lot. So glad my video was helpful! Hopefully you found my Essentials videos as well.
@@emilythehomeschooler I so appreciate you helping all of us.
Thank you!! What size binders do you use if you divide into 2?
1.5 inch
As an incoming 1st year mom with a 1st year student, THANK YOU for this video! 😊
you are so welcome!!
Do we proof subject by subject or random for the tutor proof and director proof?
When studying, I always do everything out of order. When it comes to any official proof, I let the kid choose what subjects we do in what order. Then I ask from week 1- week 24, in order.
Thank you so much for the response, and the helpful videos!
you're so welcome! @@kristyskidmore5543
I don’t understand how this video can have 1.6k views and only 23 likes, but please know we appreciate you!!! Thank you for showing us kinetic/visual learners the HOW of this lesson
Oh wow. What high praise! Thank you so much for your kind words!
Thanks Emily! my daughter was saying "which gave" instead of "that gave women the right to vote." and I wasn't sure if that counted as a mistake but I couldn't imagine failing her for it 😅
I would NEVER fail a kid for that. If you are still practicing, you can certainly correct her, but in an actual proof, no way. Push back on that if your proofer wants to fail her for something like that. Ultimately it will be up to the director but it just doesn't make sense if it doesn't alter the meaning.
I like that 😊😊😊😊😊 ❤
The first time I heard about this I was like 👍 I think I was just going to be a little robot 😅
Yo girl, thanks for putting this on the Tube!
60+40+20=120 total outcomes. White is 60/120=50% and you nailed it. The Red color is 40/120=33%, while you got 31%. Green is 20/120= 17%, while you got 19%. You were closer to your guess.
Yeah, unfortunately there was a typo in the foundations guide that I never caught. I used their numbers and their sum. Glad so many of you are catching it though!
Thank you this really helped me to teach this tomorrow !
Nice session
Great job! Thank you!
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!
you will find answers to this that run the gamut. The best thing to do is visit a local community and start asking people there what they do. The short answer is, for a 2nd grader, at home you're using a math curriculum of your own choice and a language arts curriculum of your choice. That in addition to the memory work they learn at CC IS enough! You will find many people who add a lot to that, or at a minimum struggle to believe that's "enough". But it is. CC builds into a full curriculum but not until 7th grade.
This is so helpful!❤ Thank you!
Thank you for your comment at the 20:00 minute mark. It's literally my exact situation, ages and all! (And thanks for the whole video truly! I was building my cart as you spoke!)
Awe you’re so welcome!

How do you deal with theft (accidental or otherwise) and misplaced/lost items? Over the last few years, I have noticed that especially on more chaotic days, things seem to just go missing and no one knows anything. There may be lots of helpers, but in the effort to tidy, things can go pear shaped. My head says, these things happen. But, it can end up feeling personal, when it is reoccuring frequently. Is there a "best practice" to help encourage honest behavior or to lessen the frequency of misplaced or lost items?
Thank you! Where did you get the document and drawing that you laminated and the master step by step instructions handout?
I created it. You can download it from this folder- drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-TA2ijFAWeaDsORLG_ijDlLyZhzMmxIi
Great talk! Learned a lot!
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
Thanks Emily to share this video with us!
What brand of clear tape is that or where did you get it? 😂 (haha … reminded me of foundations presentations) The Scotch brand I bought is too tall for that compartment 🙈
I honestly have no idea! It's all gone and it had been around for 5 years. My guess is it was a Walmart brand. However, I have stopped loading the top of those boxes- things would inevitably fall out. So this year I bought them additional pencil boxes to hold the things that used to be in the top.
Thank you for walking us first-timers through 😊
How fun! You’re a great speaker. We are a cc family too but taking a little break because we will be moving. Just subscribed. I also have a channel mainly about homeschooling and happy to be able to connect here 😊
Would you be willing to share what you tell your cleaning directions are? ☺️
Pretty simple- wipe tables, removing any marker/crayon/pencil marks. Sweep/vacuum floors so that no crumbs or trash are visible. Make sure trash is in a can. Room reset to his facility prefers it.
@@emilythehomeschooler oh I think this was in reference to returning the tutor bins ☺️
🤣🤣 oooops!!! I tell them to wash the erasers (laundry), throw out all blunt crayons, too short pencils, crappy markers, pencils with no eraser, etc. I ask them to wipe the maps down so they look as perfect as possible (Magic Eraser works best for this). Empty box to get rid of crumbs and dirt and find things that actually belong to you.
@@emilythehomeschooler would you be able to put the tutor supply bin checklist in your google drive? 😁
Thank you. This was very helpful!
So glad!!
Thanks so much for the great review!
First timer here! Thank you so much for putting this together! Definitely feeling overwhelmed and this helped tremendously!
I am so glad to hear that!!!!
Is the tin whistle in D or C key? :)
Key of D
How do we find information about which Cycle is upcoming for 2023/2024? TIA!
Cycle 3 is the 23/24 school year. You can tell by asking a licensed director or by looking in the bookstore and deducing a bit- the upcoming cycle will display more prominently there, although you will still see things sold for the other cycles too.
So then would 24/25 school year be back to cycle 1?
@@rmeester9366 yes that’s right. But you can start at any cycle. They are separate bodies of info that don’t build on each other. It’s designed so you can begin in any cycle.
I've watched a few of your videos. So helpful. Your daughter is awesome! She keeps me smiling!
She’s a character. 😊
I can’t get the discount code to work
They just updated the website and are redoing my discount. I will announce it on my Instagram account once I have it. @emilythehomeschooler
New code- “Emily” will save you 15%
thanks. this helped motivate me and help me understand and I've never heard of fables so I will look that up
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
