This Terms Memory Work
Monday through Thursday my kids have memory work. I like to do it first thing in the morning after we sing our hymn. You know how it is – as the day goes on you can get going in so many directions that it can be too easy to skip things we may consider unnecessary.
I wrote about the method we use here. Following, I have listed the poems, Scriptures, etc., that my children have memorized this term.

My boys love to memorize and so I looked over your lists for any that they might like to add. Charge of the Light Brigade is this term's list and I look forward to hearing the results.
Thanks for sharing your lists.
