- I am SO EXCITED to finally share about this new curriculum created by Classical Conversations that we were able to preview and try with our family for the past 6 months! This is geared towards 4-8 year olds, but I believe it’s actually a perfect resource to do with your whole family. Easy to follow, I love this open-and-go book that does the thinking for me and I can just follow the “cookbook” and help to grow our appetite for learning! This pairs perfectly with your weekly memory work, or use as a stand alone classical curriculum. Use many of the recipes or use it sparingly, either way it’s a valuable tool to have in your schooling toolbox!
Here’s the official description from the CC Bookstore:
Scribblers at Home is a classical, Christian curriculum created to give families confidence as they begin the home education journey with their young children, offering a developmentally appropriate blueprint for acquiring the skills of learning while intentionally enjoying a family rhythm of reading, exploring, conversing, and playing.
Scribblers at Home begins by acknowledging that a parent’s first priority is growing a virtuous human, one who recognizes and loves God and His world. A classical education that begins with Scribblers contributes to this growth by passing on the tools of learning, mastering a core of knowledge, and practicing the skills that make it possible to treat words and ideas with confidence and other people with grace, mercy, and respect. Scribblers at Home helps families cultivate a family atmosphere that seeks the true, the good, and the beautiful.
Scribblers at Home presents education as an opportunity for families to know God more fully by exploring His Word and His world together daily. The curriculum provides foundational learning activities that equip families to know God and to make Him known winsomely to others.
Scribblers at Home is designed to foster the family as a community of learning; the activities are for families to enjoy together at home, not within a formal community setting.
•Encouragement to create a family rhythm of spending time together daily praying, playing, reading, exploring, and serving.
•Activities can be scaled to include older siblings in the fun and learning.
•Charts give parents the big picture of where the Scribblers skills are leading.
•Hospitable to all as the activities embrace all learning modalities.
•Gentle reminder that play is the work of childhood, and that littles learn by example, involvement, imagination, and freedom to explore.
•Permission is given to play, to wander, to be silly, to just enjoy being together; building relationships is the first order in the education of your children.

Thanks for this review. I'm sorry about your miscarriages- I pray you heal quickly. I've been there too. It's really hard. Wishing big blessings ahead for you. Be well.
This is such a great review! Thank you! I’m so sorry for your loss, I had a miscarriage and know the pain❤❤
God bless your family!!!!
Thank you for the review. How does this go along with each cycle? Are all three cycles in the book?
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!
HI! THANK YOU! Do you need a supplement for phonics for 6 year olds?
I'm wondering the same thing! And thanks for this review!
@@katrina7238I’m wondering this too! I have a 4 year old.
We have always used a Charlotte Mason style approach to homeschooling but as our oldest just turned 10, I’m looking at classical education as well. We did a trial community day at a local Classical Conversations school last week and I found the Essentials class to be overwhelming for myself and my son (I was an English Lit major in college). Both of my children liked Foundations (we also have a 7 year old). Another concern I have are all of the UA-cam videos knocking CC for not being more God centered. The timelines don’t even talk about Jesus and I heard a huge focus is on Greek Gods and mythology. I know people either love or hate CC, but I just want to talk to someone who can tell me what they like and don’t like about it. One extra detail- we do a full day homeschool tutorial twice per week (with only Math for take home curriculum). We would really have only two full days to work on our CC. Am I biting off more than I can chew? I’m so torn. Sorry for the long rant!
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 ❤
