Notebooking the Classical Conversations Memory Work

These are a few sample pages from the notebook.  I just bought a composition notebook with the top of the page blank and the bottom part with lines (unruled/primary ruled).  This is how we supplemented language arts using Classical Conversations.  I got the idea from another blog.  In the beginning SM would write her history sentence, science question, and Bible verse and then draw a picture at the top.  After joining CC Connected I was able to download some cut and paste and fill-in-the-blank pages for her to use instead.  These helped a lot because last year was our first year and she was in Kindergarten.  We will keep this notebook and she can add to it when we repeat Cycle 2 in 3 years.  I'm looking forward to seeing how differently she will interpret the history sentences next time around.

Classical Conversations Tri-fold Board

This is our tri-fold board for the weekly memory work for Classical Conversations.  I made my own timeline cards that are across the top.  I have page protectors for the other parts: history, latin, grammar, science, math, geography, fine arts, and Bible verse.  I printed an image to go with each history sentence as well.  We spend about 20 minutes each day reviewing the memory work on the board.  Occasionally I have worksheets or books that supplement the memory work and we do that later.  I try to find books from the library to supplement each week.  We also have a notebook for the memory work (that will be a different post).
