snipsnsnailsx5 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'm curious which CLE subjects you use, and approximately how much time per subject? I think I'm planning on using CLE math and language arts for my 2nd and 4th grader in the fall. I'm really liking CLE geography too...but they will be getting some geography in their CC co-op and some ALE classes. However I don't know how thorough it would be. So I guess I'm curious how much time I'd expect to spend per day on CLE math and lanugage arts, and if CLE geography/social studies is worth it? We'll also be reading together, doing some science experiments, and then the CC (Classical Conversations) memory work. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thowell Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 CLE math2 is about 30 minutes here counting the flashcards and speed drills. That is the only one we use from CLE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punks in Ontario Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 For LA, the guys can do it in 20 min, but 40 is more common. I love this program. My poor speller is using Sequential Spelling instead, but ds7 is using his spelling. We also used Reading for the first time this year and are enjoying it. It's 20-30 minutes long. We're also using Social Studies 3 this year. Ds8 doesn't really love it, but it's okay. Ds7 and ds8 are both using the Bible program when they wish and usually are quite happy to do lessons in it too. Ds8 is also doing a Discover 4 Yourself study.

Veritaserum Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Math 300 takes 45-60 min. Math 100 takes 20-30 min. Dd8 did Reading 300 and LA 300 for a few months at the beginning of the year. Those both took 30-45 min. each. She is a perfectionist, so she may work a little more slowly than other children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommy4ever Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 We printed a sample of the LA. DD7 did 1 lesson in about 25 minutes. The second lesson was about 15. I have NO idea what booklet it would have been, there was some new things for her. She loved it. Especially the little bible stories that were used for it.

Joyofsixreboot Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 My 4th grader takes roughly 30 min for math, a little longer for LA (he hates the subject) and 30 min or less for reading. My first grader finishes each subject in 20 min or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mothergooseof4 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 We used math and LA levels 100 and 400 last year. Oh, and Reading 400 for a while. I would say average of 45 minutes per subject with 4th grade math often taking an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy to monkeys Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I have a 6yr old in 104 level Math and Language-20 minutes tops I also have an 8yr old in the level 302 math and 203 language-30 minutes for math and 20 for language/spelling (he doesn't do the penmanship sections) I cannot fathom spending an hour on those math sections.

kamom Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 A 9 and 10 yr old here in 400 and 500 for math, language, reading and Bible. I say about 45 min a subject average. With math taking the longest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ondreeuh Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 My 4th grader takes 45-60 minutes with the 400 level math. We have started splitting it up so we can keep moving through our day! He just does the grammar portion of the LA (300 level), and that only takes 5-10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I've never really timed it, but I will and get back to you. Both of my kids are using CLE math and LA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom0012 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 My daughter is using the 300 level LA and the 400 level Math. I would estimate it takes her anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half to complete both. I think the LA can vary a lot in the amount of time it takes.

Mommyfaithe Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 We use CLE for reading, math and LA. My 7th grader takes 45 min for each subject 3rd grader takes about 30 minutes per 1st grader takes about 20 minutes per, but we do a lot of his orally and I do a lot of the writing for him.

lejardin Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 My DD used CLE LA4 and Math 4. It can take her anywhere from 30m to 45m+. Just depends on the lesson content and her concentration for a particular lesson/day. It has been a good curriculum choise for her overall.
