The Cycle 3 My Memory Work Lapbooks are now available!
I have re-vamped the Cycle 3 lapbooks to coincide with the recent Foundations Guide*** (you will need to own this to use the Lapbook resource), as well as updated many of the templates. This is a fun way to get hands-on with your memory work, and to create a fun portfolio of all you have learned over the year. Parents have also enjoyed using them for review, or as a tool for the Memory Masters in their families! Back by popular demand, you can choose between creating a Lapbook or a Binder-book (the file contains both options).
How do we use them?
I print them off at the beginning of the year, and sort them by week. Last year I started using a filing system for each week that worked great, so we will be using it again this year. Essentially, I have a file folder for each week. I put the lapbook templates in the corresponding week, and just pull out that week’s file folder and complete what is in it. That means all of my planning is done up front!
Over the years we have also used them in other ways. One year we completed one six-week lapbook at a time, as review after we had already learned the material. Another year we completed on six-week lapbook before the start of the six weeks, and used them during review time. You can use them any way you wish!
***These products are meant to complement the Classical Conversations Foundations Program. You will need to own the Foundations Guide to be able to complete these templates. Check out Classical Conversations for more information, and to join a community near you! I am not affiliated with Classical Conversations in any way. However, I do love their resources and my CC community! Give CC a try today!
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE “MY MEMORY WORK LAPBOOKS”:
“I absolutely loved the hands-on learning and review the CC Cycle 3 lapbook provided. We would work on a little everyday after our core subjects were complete and it was reinforcing what we had already recited and reviewed. Please continue to include the circle fold (fine arts) and the square fold (science). The children loved folding and unfolding as they reviewed. Fun, fun!” ~ Mary H.
“Somehow I ran onto your blog and saw your lap books. We absolutely loved them! And I think I showed them to every parent! I was proud of it! It just put all of our grand cc memory work in four colorful compact folders. We used them to review everyday, My daughter used them for presentations in cc. I liked that it was made for six weeks and we learned the six weeks at a time. The kids knew what was coming next. What a wonderful way to display all the hard work and your memory. Great job Karen! Thank you for all your hard work! Makes our homeschool life smoother and fun!” ~Dinara A.
“I have loved having this resource to enhance all that we’re learning in CC! Thanks for a great and affordable resource.” Jenny F.
“We love Classical Conversations, and we love Lapbooking. What a perfect combination. Great for review and showing off their knowledge to grandparents!! I appreciate the hard work you put into your products!” ~Angela P.
“Having purchase the lapbook toward the end of our CC year, I enjoyed using it as review for MM testing as well as an overall review for our CC year. It is great for the hands on or visual learner and my kids LOVED putting them together!” ~Cathy L.
“I LOVED your Cycle 3 lapbooks. I liked most that these books made review much more fun and interesting for my daughter and I could SEE the difference in group time each week! The things that we reviewed with the lapbooks were the things that she remembered most with review in class. Thank you for offering these at such a great price.” ~Melissa C.
“Your lap books are amazing with clear, concise instructions – it couldn’t be easier to put them together. Thank you!” ~Melissa C.
“What a blessing lap booking all that we have learned in CC this year. My son and I do lap book in the evenings about twice a week and it is a GREAT way to review. We are looking forward to traveling to see grandparents this summer and are taking our lap books to show them all we have done this year. Thank you so much for all the time and energy put into creating these.” ~Kimber
“I love everything about the lapbooks and quite frankly – this was our first experience with lapbooks!!” ~Melissa L.

Do I need them if I bought the original ones you did 3 years ago? Is it much different?
Thanks!

Hi Karen,
After completeing your orchestra lapbook for Cycle 2 my almost 6-year-old was begging to get the memory lapbooks for the Cycle 3. We purchased them and I am busy printing, cutting, and sorting in preparation for the fall. I do have a question with regard to the 3.4 lapbook geography section. I see that there are two maps, one to review the states and capitals and one for all the physical features, however, I can't tell from the photos where you put the second map in the tri-folder layout. Where do you suggest the second map be placed? Thanks so much!
I have a question. I have a first grader, and would like to use these lapbooks as our at home CC review during the week. My question – do your lapbooks include every piece of memory work? If not, what is left out? Thank you! 🙂
Hi Heather! Yes, all components are covered, including Fine arts! Blessings, Karen
That is awesome, thank you!!
This is our 2nd year using your lapbooks. THANK YOU! A suggestion : it would be most helpful if the pg containing the links to various sections of the book be included as pg 1, currently pg 7. That way when I'm checking back on it through the year I wouldn't need to scroll through title pg etc just to look at where things are placed In a particular tab. Just a thought…
