Silver Moon Learning

Aug. 15, 2009

I went organization crazy.

First up, our new memory boxes. The idea was completely swiped from Simply Charlotte Mason. We do a lot of poetry. Each kid has vastly different interests and thus learns different poems. Now picture one mom trying to remember which poems to help each kid practice and which old ones to review. See where this is going? Ours are a smidgeon different from the SCM version. We have daily section for the currently working on poem, odd, even, Monday through Friday, then four groups of numbered days. When the current poem is learned well enough to recite to Dad (our gracious audience), it goes to the odd or even section. The poem that gets bumped from the odd or even section goes to a day of the week section. When those are full enough to bump one out they go to the numbered section. SCM has numbered sections for every day of the month. These were the best index card holders I could find and didn't have enough dividers for that. I think this will work fine, and be very helpful keeping it all straight! Pink is Grace's, blue is Joy's, black is Honor's, green is Justice's. I figure they'll probably be dead and need replaced by the time Faith needs one, so I didn't bother picking one up to keep her matchy.
