After seeing our Memory Work Sticker Book and our Memory Work Mastery Chart, a mom asked if we had a chart or other visual aid to track Essentials chart mastery.
Now we do, and you can download it.
Download the Chart Mastery Chart here.
You can color it in, use stickers, check the box, or come up with another creative way of using this chart.
I chose the tortoise & hare theme simply because it features a trail (the tortoise’s trail), and that is one of the analogies used in the Essentials guide. I also hoped to show that the goal is not short-term memorization just so students can regurgitate and quickly forget what was “learned,” but students are working towards long-term retention – a sometimes slow but steady mastery of all charts over the course of three years.
Do you have another idea for a simple creation? Let me know! Although I can’t guarantee that I can pull it together, the idea may have a quick and easy solution.
A special thanks goes out to Samantha for asking a question that spurred an idea. Thanks, Samantha!
