How I Organize Classical Conversations

Jul 20, 2016

This is the Classical Conversations corner of our Homeschool Room!

There are multiple ways people organize their Timeline Cards. I choose to go the cheap route by putting them in a basket I already had on hand and using tabs to mark each week. I thought they would be easily accessible this way and I can grab the cards for each week and then file them back in the basket.

I think most people like to write the Memory Work on a big dry erase board. I don't have a big dry erase board. I took the time to type the Memory Work (it didn't take as long as you would think!) all out so I can display it each week in page protectors that are taped on the wall. Works for us! I like the Memory Work visible for Review time.

I stick all the pages for one week in one page protector! All 24 weeks are in this one folder!

Memory Master cards are hung on the wall. Cycle 1 is the top row and Cycle 2 is the second row. There is space for Cycle 3 next year! I find these cards helpful when we are reviewing more than the current week's Memory Work.

Because I planned our school year all out this summer ahead of time, I have these folders ready with special activities we will do with our Memory Work. There is NOT an activity for every week and for every piece of Memory Work. Just an activity here and there to spice things up every now and then. I will place books that we are currently reading in this basket as well.

A sample folder with a Book of Number Patterns each girl will make:

The blue basket on the right holds our Review materials and games we enjoy playing during our Memory Work review each morning.

Books are a big part of our Memory Work. We love reading to find out more about the facts we are memorizing! This bookcase holds all our books that correlate to CC Memory Work. The books are organized by subject.

DSC03495 I really like the way everything is organized this year. I think it will make grabbing resources convenient and easy as we move through our school year!
