Cycle 1 Memory Work Tri-fold Board Update

 Due to some changes for the coming year, it was time to update our two-year-old tri-fold board.  

Our tri-fold board gets a facelift

How to Make this Tri-Fold Board:  

1. Purchase a 35.5" x 46" cardboard tri-fold board (from places like Wal-Mart, close to where they sell posterboard) and a package of 8.5" x 11" Page Protectors.  Cut 5 of them in half to make 10  8.5" x 5.5" sleeves.  (Or you can purchase a package of 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" page protectors).  
2. Tape a row of eight of these modified protectors across the top of the tri-fold board (in portrait orientation) to use for 7 Classical Acts and Facts History Timeline Cards and 1 science card.  You will only need 7 if you are not using the Classical Acts and Facts Science Cards. 
3. Tape the remaining two half-sized protectors to the top of each flap (in landscape orientation) for two timeline review printouts that list the timeline up to the current week.  
4. Ensure that you have sealed off all but the top of the protectors to keep the cards from sliding out.  
5. Underneath the row of eight half-sized protectors, tape a row of four 8.5 x 11" Page Protectors followed by another row of four 8.5 x 11" Page Protectors.  You can use slides off of the Classical Conversations Memory Work Resources CD or off of CC Connected (C3).

NOTE:  In the photo above, we only have one timeline review printout because the board is set up for Week 1.  After Week 6, we will have two timeline review sheets so that we can have all 12 weeks of timeline up when we break for Christmas and so on.   Thanks to The Corkums for the Timeline Review Sheet idea!  We've not had this in the past, and it will really be handy to have this year!  (You can also find our Timeline Review sheets under filename Timeline Review 2nd Semester - Half-size.pdf and username brandyferrell on CC Connected.)

Our board is currently set up as follows (though subjects may be placed in a little different order).
