Grammar Stage Memorization

GRAMMAR STAGE MEMORISATION Compiled by Hannah Wilson Why this file exists This file was put together as we use the “pick up and go” approach to homeschooling on a daily basis and as there was nothing to pick up for memory work, we just did not “go”. I hope that it is useful to you too. I do not envisage my children memorizing everything in these lists and we will probably add to the list as we go along. We will only commit history, geography and science facts to memory once we have studied the topic using living books. Maths, Grammar and Latin memorization will be added as it comes up in the curriculum. How to memorize To start memorizing, read the entire passage through two or three times per day until everyone can recite it together. (we have our memory work up on the wall at the dining table, schoolroom and above the bath) How to organize your memory work At http://simplycharlottemason.com/timesavers/memorysys/ the authors describe an easy system for memorization and organizing scripture which can be used for all memory work. 1 Table of Contents 1 Personal

bright, The stars twinkle into the night. February, so warm aglow, While summer breezes begin to blow. March comes marching merrily, Over land and over sea. April showers begin to stir, The plants and animals, the waters pure. May will start to bring the cold, From the South Pole Winter bold. June brings rain and winds so strong, Windy, rainy, all day long. July looks out upon the earth, Seeds below await new birth. August turns the tide of weather, It seems now to be getting better. September springs alive with joy, Making happy each girl and boy. October likes to breathe and blow, All the coloured flowers grow. November days will bring more sun, While over fields the children run. December laughs with warmth of heart, Making way for New Years start. 5 ... - tailieumienphi.vn
