If you want to try this method, the directions are all here at Simply Charlotte Mason. You need dividers labeled daily, even, odd, Sunday through Saturday, and 1 through 31. I didn't want to buy dividers and I didn't care for their printable, so I made my own printable dividers. Want to make some for your family? Here's a step-by-step on how to do it.
Supplies
- 3×5 index card box
- 3×5 index cards
- card stock
- printer
- laminator and pockets (optional)
- my free memory box divider printable
Instructions
Start by printing the dividers on card stock. I used confetti card stock that I had sitting around. You could use any color you want that is light enough to see the lines for cutting and the text on the tabs. I purposely made the lines for cutting very light so they won't be too noticeable on the divider after cutting if any of the line remains.
This is what the first full page of dividers looks like:
Next, cut out your dividers or prepare for laminating. I chose to laminate mine first and cut afterwards.
I used my paper cutter for the straight sides and sharp scissors for the top of the divider (the tab side):
{Side note, I could really used a new paper cutter – heavy duty enough to handle our homeschool use and laminated card stock easily. Got a favorite to recommend? Leave a comment below!}
And here's my completed divider:
Now, use your 3×5 cards for your memory verses. We are going to be reviewing the Seeds Family Worship Vol. 1 verses that we worked on last fall. I used their printable. Their cards are sized too big for my box, so I cut them down and pasted them on 3×5 cards rather than spending the time rewriting or typing and printing my own cards. Here's a sample:
