As was previously shown in my school room look, here is our grammar board aka my version of the at home tri-fold board for memory work.
I have 8 page protector sleeves hung by binder clips pinned to the cork board with a tack. Each sleeve holds one subject’s memory work – Bible passage, Latin, English, History, Science, Geography, Math and Art. i have 2 weeks in the sleeve at a time, so that when it’s time to switch to the next week I simply flip the sleeve around.
The other 22 weeks of memory work sheets not in current use are stored in a 3 ring binder with pocket dividers by subject. I also store the history and science snippets printed from C3 in here.
Over the weekend, I pull out the last 2 weeks we’ve used and put in the next 2 weeks. What about you? How do you organize your CC tools at home? I’d love to see! Tag instragram pics with #ccathome!
Great idea! I really wanted to use the tri-fold board but I live in Germany and couldn’t find one large enough. May give this a try 😀
I’m glad you like this idea! I really hope it works well for you! : )
Hey Beth, I’m honored to have my blog mentioned in here. I’ve actually been to your blog many times and would love to have your organizational skills! 🙂 I will definitely link you back and look forward to sharing ideas with you. As you know, some days you wonder if anyone other your mom is reading it. 🙂
I do have a quick question for you, do you have kids in essentials? How would you post resources for essential tutors as I realize most tutors who do essentials don’t feel like the resources (I usually list) apply to them. I post on Hundred Acre Woods, but I wasn’t sure if you had another idea (since you’ve been doing it much longer). 🙂
Thanks again!

PS:Love your CC tools. I need to do that as well. I just have a folder for the week ahead. But now I’m needing one for two weeks ahead.
You’re absolutely right about wondering if anyone is reading, Crecia! So, thanks for commenting. 🙂 The comments are always such an encouragement!!
None of my littles are in essentials yet. I do feel like most of the CC blogs are for the younger crowd. Wish I could help, but not yet! Maybe in a few years… : )
Thanks again for sharing all of your wonderful creations! Such a help to my family & many others I’m sure!
This looks awesome! I’m a newbie just looking into CC & was wondering if all these resources that you use shown here & also in your weekly binder to pull out to use are available for each week? I’m wondering if it’s easy to gather up whatever you need for each week (on the Connections site???) or if you make these yourself? Thanks.
Hi! I found everything for my memory work boards on CC Connected. Some seriously talented mommas make these & many other excellent resources. Hope that helps! 🙂 And welcome to homeschooling!
I have a corkboard that I could totally do this with. I’ve also seen the memory work photo albums that I think could be pretty handy. I’m just not sure how much it would get used though. I’m thinking the corkboard *might* get used more often…or at the very least will be out where it can be seen often through the day since it’s in our kitchen. 🙂 There’s so many great ideas I’ve seen for how to work on memory work!

You’re right, Karen! Sooo many good ideas! We haven’t set up our memory work boards since moving. It worked great for us for the time we used it.
