Guys, I’m excited to share with you today a memory work system created by another CC mom, Jaime from Homeschool Story. Have you seen the memory box system used in Charlotte Mason circles for scripture memory? I’ve admired it from a distance and considered using it for our Classical Conversations memory work, but have always been overwhelmed with the idea of creating my own. Jaime has created a wonderfully simple way to have your own memory work system without spending the time to create your own box.
Essentially, the memory work is divided into a daily review system. Each day has a different grouping of memory work assigned to it and walks you through reviewing all previously learned weeks, so you’re constantly reviewing all learned material. There are even options for weeks when CC is off, when you’re taking winter break, when you want to get ahead, or if you want to review previous cycles at the same time. The best part? It is all done for you and is easy to use.
There are 2 ways to order the cards: 1) as a PDF file sent to your computer for you to print or 2) already printed, laminated, and cut on cardstock to be shipped to you. Jaime sent me the PDF, which I printed on regular copy paper. (My printer does not like card stock.) I then folded the paper vertically to glue the cards back-to-back, thereby making them sturdier too. I laminated and hole punched the cards to hang on a ring.
I’m super excited to use these cards for our daily review. Jaime has graciously offered one set to a reader here. Enter below to win a copy of your very own!a Rafflecopter giveaway
This is our first full year of using CC material…and I’m sure these cards would be helpful! I need all the help I can get with organization! ; ) Thanks! Stacey
These look great! I’m sure it’ll be a useful tool in our memorization.
Elijah and Ruthie are going for memory master this year . .. last year, I said that, but it just didn’t happen. This year, it’s one of my big goals for them for the year so I hope we all work hard enough to pull it off.
a friend of mine has these… what a blessing it would be to win 😀
This is our first year of Classical Conversations. This looks like a great way to review. Tammy D.
My son is five and last year he had no drive to be a memory master (which was fine with me). This year he’ll be the youngest member in a class and I wonder how that will affect him…maybe motivate? We’ll concentrate on math and timeline (because those are repeated yearly) and we’ll try to master those. And celebrate all our successes!
I love these! 🙂
We are brand new to CC and these would be so helpful!

My 5 year old was a mini-memory master last year (one subject only), and this year we hope to step it up to two or three subjects! We love playing review games, and these would help ensure we don’t accidentally miss any weeks.
I am brand new to CC this year, and this looks like something that would be very helpful!! crystalb2005@gmail.com

This would be such a blessing to our family!

Awesome this is our first year at CC this would help my girls a lot! Thanks so much The Demeski family Demeskir@att.net
My memory masters are wanting a fresh approach to studying!
This is our first year! We’re constantly on the go, so this will be helpful!!
I would love to win these for my children!! I’m always looking for new ways to review.
We are going for memory masters this year. This would be helpful to keep us on track!
I actually set up the box for the CM memory system, but just couldn’t figure out how to decide what got filed where. This tool is lovely, lovely, lovely. Thanks for the chance to win.

This would be a great addition to our school supplies!
With five children enrolled in Foundations this semester, tuition almost broke the bank; it would be awesome to have free memory system!
Great resource and helpful for helping the review to not become the cart pulling the horse. 🙂
My daughter is excited to try for memory master this year. She could have done it last year but there were some extenuating circumstances that kept us from giving it our full attention. Excited to see what this year brings!
Great idea! This is our first year of CC, and I am very zealous (so far! LOL) about staying on top of the memory work.
I REALLY want to enter but I can’t seem to get the rafflecopter thing to let me log in? I’m not familiar with it anyway. New kid here! Thanks for any help you can give! Megan S.
Megan, I *think* you should be able to log in with your name and then choose 1 or both of the options for entering the contest. There’s a drop down box where you can select, name/url. Does that help?
None of my kids are going for Memory Master this year, but the memory work is invaluable as we can reference it as it correlates to life.
This is our first year in CC, so we are very excited about getting started!
Yea!These look so fun!
These would be so wonderful!
Looks great!
Yes, we are shooting for Memory Masters.
I am just learning about CC and am getting lots of help from my friends. I am hoping to win this giveaway to get a little more help and get ahead on what I need to gather together.
We just had our first CC meeting last Wednesday and I’m excited for the possibilities it is presenting for our whole family!
Entering here! 🙂 These look great! 🙂 speders3@gmail.com
Great Idea! Love it!
This is our first year in CC. I have 3 girls, so I know this would help us out a lot!

I’ve been homeschooling for over 10 years, but this is our first year in CC. Super excited and thankful for all the great support on this and other CC mom blogs! Thanks!
This will be our first year in CC and I would love the chance to check out this awesome resource.
This will be our 2nd year in CC, 3rd year homeschooling. This looks like a great resource! My kids are going to try for memory master this year. My daughter will be moving on to Challenge A next year, so it’s her last chance. We love our CC group!
I’m new to CC this year…and homeschooling in general 🙂 This would be a wonderful help for a newbie like me!
I’m also new to CC this year. This would be an amazing tool!! 🙂
Looks great! I’m going to leave this for a CCer to win though =) Just wanted to say thank for linking up the great giveaway to Trivium Tuesdays!
thanks, amy! ; )
Would love to win these!
