nowimscrappin Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Curious with those who do Classical Conversations - do you do any other Latin at home or just stick with what they are learning at CC? I have seen several mention that they love Song School Latin and it seems geared for the younger ones, but I didn't want to overwhelm her and confuse her Latin between CC and that - so I'm curious as to other experience. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessMcG Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 You can definitely do both. It shouldn't confuse her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmom Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 We do Classical Conversations also. I just do CC's latin at home. My dd is 6 and in 1st grade this year so this is all she can handle (and all I can handle:)). I am thinking of adding latin for children next year.

jeffcolemanfamily Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I use Prima Latina for my older kiddos... ages 9 and 11. The younger kids just do their Latin memory work at home with me! :) That's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mtaylor1819 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I have also heard good things about Sing Song Latin and Latin for Children. What they are learning in CC shouldn't contradict anything in a Latin Program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thyme4tea Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 We do CC with a group weekly but at home we practice our CC Latin memory work at home AND I speak Latin and we TRY to fit in Prima Latina DVD and lessons but we can't fit the PL in very often so that will pick up the week after CC ends and we will hopefully finish that up over the summer (we school all year round) Especially in Cycle 3 I didn't think just memorizing a passage was enough for Latin and they seem fine doing more Latin at home. I was attempting to follow LCC then we started CC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chepyl Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I think the memory work is enough for my six year old. He wants to learn Mandarin, so we will continue just latin memory work for now amd see how we do with another language. With the second cycle, I may add more Latin.

staceyobu Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 If you want them to *know* Latin, you are going to have to do more at home. Just like the math, science and history, CC is not enough to fully teach the subject. We aren't doing additional latin now because of the ages of my kids, but we'll add it in. Shoot... when do we have to add that? Second grade? Third? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I just got the old CC foundations guide, and it explicitly recommends starting a separate Latin program "no later than 4th grade". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arghmatey Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 We are in CC, and we use SSL and GSWL for our 5YO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
