Gamom3 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Classical Conversation uses Veritas Press. Why would I want to spend so much money for CC and not just purchase VP with their cd's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kim IL Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 CC does use the VP timeline cards, but also much, much more. The emphasis with CC is on the "community aspect". Grammar stage can be done at home, but the ability to do the memory work and have someone to share it with is amazing. Plus, each week in addition to memory work, we do a science experiment, fine arts project, and presentations! The memory work includes the VP timeline, but also a history sentence, geography, math drills, english grammar, latin, and science facts. All of this is set to music except VP cards. The kids enjoy going so much each week to share with their tutor and their friends. Have you ever been to an Open House? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sle22 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I was wondering how CC is going for you. I have been asked to be director of a new CC in my area. I was also looking at VP for curriculum next year so now I am really torn. Any suggestions or information on how CC is going for you.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethben Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 CC is transitioning from the VP cards into their own history timeline published by CC with a timeline song. Just so you know. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micron4 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Also, CC has created their own timeline cards--the "Classical Acts and Facts Cards". These are replacing the VP timeline cards. It depends on your CC community whether you will be using the VP or CC cards this year. There is also a new timeline song too. And I agree with previous poster Kim--the timeline cards were a very small portion of CC. For me, the best parts were the accountability and the friendships formed. I feel like my dd6 learned much more than I would thought and hoped, especially in science, history and geography. The Latin and English grammar were not very effective for us.
