Our CC orientation went really well last Tuesday night! I am SO excited about this year, and our group looks really 'together' and organized, so that's definitely a plus! However, our director suggested that we bring our Foundations Guide to class each week for a while. I don't know about you, buy my purse is already stuffed with junk; how in the world am I supposed to put that big ol' book in it?! Well, not to worry... I have a plan! A friend mentioned to me the idea of a memory work flip chart a few weeks ago. Brilliant! So, I took a few hours, went through the Foundations Guide, and typed up the memory work into an MS Word document. I had originally planned to cut out the cards, laminate them, and get them bound at Staples (which is why there is extra room at the top of each card), but then I remembered that I had some small, old photo albums in the Craft box downstairs.
I squeezed four weeks onto one page of cardstock, as you can see above.
Then I cut them out and inserted them into this cheap little photo album.
Ta-da! Now I can just throw this in my purse instead of carrying around that big book (and I really do love the 'big book,' but you know it can get heavy, and it's hard to flip through sometimes because it's so floppy.). And I can keep this in my purse when I go to the library, too, so I know exactly which books to look for that week that go along with our memory work! I uploaded the file to C3, but I've had so many problems with it printing correctly, that I just ended up taking it down. I made it in Word, and each time I opened it something new was wrong! I'd fix it, save it, close it, and then open it up again to check it - WRONG again! Sheesh! Anyway, sorry about that. The hubs says that Word is like that. Bummer.
Well, it's really late, but I just had to quickly share this because I think it's so handy! It did take a while to type everything in, obviously, but I'm really glad that it worked out the way that it did. Time well spent (I hope!).
Good night, friends!
very cool! Hope you can share it on C3. I have not had any problems but I was already subscribed. I do know that some in our community were having issues though.
ReplyDeleteMelissa, thanks for stopping by! I was just able to join C3 (woohoo!), so the file of all 24 weeks is now uploaded. If you can't find it let me know, and I'll send you a copy in an email. :)
DeleteI am not able to find it :( This is our first year and it seems like a great tool to use would love to have this for my daughter.
DeleteNew to Classical Conversations and C3 hoping I can find it, no luck thus far. I would be so blessed if you could email it to me. My email is classicalconversationnicole@gmail.com
DeleteHi Melody, can you send it to me via email please? karmenpendleton@gmail.com THANK YOU! :)
DeleteHello Melody! I fell in love with your cycle 3 flip book this year that my tutor used and I have been searching cc connected to find a similar flip book for cycle 1. I have not been able to find it anywhere. Can you please send it to me directly at kristimtaylor17@msn.com? Thank you so much for your help and time. Kristi

Yvana, you have a GREAT blog with GREAT ideas! I love the coloring pages for Fertile Crescent! Thanks so much for the shout-out; I'll definitely be checking your blog for ideas, too. :) Oh, and I just uploaded the flip chart to C3 (yay!). If you can't find it, just let me know and I'll email it to you if you'd like a copy. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Melody. Regarding the flip chart, would you please email it. It takes me forever to find things on the C3 site and this week is nuts.
DeleteMy email is Yvana261@gmail.com
By the way your little school room is beautiful! Those girls of yours are quite blessed.
Can't wait to hear how your first day of CC goes. I am sure you will all love it.
Melody,
ReplyDeleteWould you also email me a copy of your flipchart? I'm not on CC Connected yet, our CC doesn't start for another 2wks, but I'm excited, and ever so grateful to bloggers such as yourself for sharing great time-saving tips, ideas, and files!
My email is spescheler @ gmail . com
Thanks!

Love your idea of a flip chart. The only problem I have is that when I download it from C3, some of the memory work is cut off. The last line of the timeline on week 2, 7 & 8 are cut off, as well as some other things. I'm wondering if I got the file straight from you if it would be the same. Might just be an issue on my end. My email is lori.buck @ comcast. net if you would be so kind to send. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCould you please email the file to me also? I can't find it c3.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Jamie! This flip chart has really been SO convenient! I can email you the file, but you'll have to adjust it yourself to make it work. Let me know if you're interested! Have a great week!
