In an effort to get ready for the new year, I have put together this binder to use for our Classical Conversations (CC) memory work. It also contains our weekly scripture memory for MFW-ECC. For the cute scripture printables see Mama Jenn!
Before I get into the details of the binder - let me explain a few things.
First, I love the Charlotte Mason Scripture memory work system and that is where this idea began. I wanted a way for us to review not only the cycle we were currently on but the previous cycles too. If you have no idea what I'm talking about when I say cycles - CC rotates memory work each year for 3 cycles. We are currently on Cycle 3 and next year we will start over with Cycle 1.
Second, we love our weekly memory board and I already needed a way to file our memory sheets so I am using these in a two-fold purpose! The current week that we are on goes up on the board and we go over this Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Tuesdays, we meet with our local CC group.
Now - back to the binder!
The tabs included are daily, odd, even, days of the week, numbers 1-31.
Here is how it works - we will start Monday, January 2nd. So, we will review what is behind the daily tab, the even tab, the Monday tab, and the number 2 tab. After review for the day is done, each week moves to a new tab. For instance, what was in the daily moves to the the even, even to the day of week, day of week to number.
Example for Monday:
Daily Tab
Cycle 3, Week 12 (since that is the last week we have covered)
Even Tab (since 2 is an even number)
Cycle 3, Week 1
Monday Tab (because it is Monday)
Cycle 3, Week 5
#2 Tab (because it is the 2nd of the month)
Cycle 2, Week 5
We have only been through 2 cycles so eventually we will have all 3 cycles in here and be able to review them regularly with this system.
I'll keep you updated with how it works out!
