During Family Worship, we've been working through the book of Proverbs and memorizing passages that Daddy chooses. During morning Bible time, I am using the Truth and Grace Memory Books our church endorses as a guide. It is helpful because many times the kids are working on the same verses and catechism questions in Sunday School.We were really moving along in the area of memorization and then something happened and we kind of got off track. I read about the Scripture Memory System explained at Simply Charlotte Mason and we're going to give that a try. We've got the index card box and the dividers, but actually making the scripture cards is still on the to-do-list.
During our weekly poetry readings, we are working on memorizing some of Robert Louis Stevenson's poems (since we are concentrating on his works this year). Right now, we are working on "The Swing". I've been mostly working with my K5-son in memorizing it, but it brought a smile to my face when I heard my K3-daughter playing alone the other day and swinging one of her dolls and quoting, "How do you like to go up in a swing? Up in the air so blue?"
