Quiver0f10 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 We have tried different things over the years and I always end up dropping it halfway through the year. :glare: This year I am thinking of using something more visual such as VP flash cards, EFTRU flash cards, CLE math fact cards and maybe some others. I'd love to see what everyone else is using. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick_Mom Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 What are you using for memory this year? I had something planned, but I forgot what it was. :D (Sorry! I couldn't resist! :lol:) Ds is going to be memorizing some poems and portions of speeches; I just haven't selected them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 We use the IEW poetry - book only. The kids are working through it. This year, I'm adding in the Shurley grammar jingles and some trivia, Globetrotting Brainiac, which think will be fun to use during memory time.

Mrs Twain Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I picked things from this list to go along with our basic timeline work and Bible verses: http://www.lulu.com/items/volume_39/596000/596907/1/print/596907.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettyL Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 We choose chapters from the Bible. Last year she learned all of Psalm 139. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakia Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 My kids do AWANA at church, so we don't do much additional bible memory at home. I generally have my two oldest memorizing a poetry selection and a history selection. We are doing Sonlight American History year 2, so they will focus on more current American poets and history passages. I get a lot of our memory work from Living Memory. I highly recommend that book! Of course they memorize other things from their grammar lessons, science, math, etc as we get to them. I am embarrassed to admit this, but I realized yesterday that I haven't taught my 5 year many nursery rhymes or fun kid songs, so I will work on those with her. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen in CO Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 DO you have Living Memory? I have had this for years with great intentions and zero follow through; it is just too much for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondeviolin Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Well, I have littles, so we'll be doing our address and phone number, a few scriptures, a few well-known sayings, poems and nursery rhymes as well as counting by 10s and 5s, the days of the week, months of the year, etc etc. The What Your _____ Needs to Know books have been awesome to peruse through for this purpose.

jpklehm Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 DO you have Living Memory?I have had this for years with great intentions and zero follow through; it is just too much for me. I have this as well, and while my dc have memorized a few things in it, we haven't used it to its full potential. So this summer, I've decided to go through it and make copies of pieces I want them to memorize, and I will include it in their lessons. If something is simply sitting on my book shelf, I forget about it. So I need to make the copies and put them with our active items so it gets done.

chepyl Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 We will also be doing Classical Conversations on our own. I am doing cycle 1 because I really like to start at the begining :D We are doing everything, including the history timeline. I am also throeing in sine extra Bible verses, address and phone numbers, etc. CC is only 24 weeks, so I have room to add more. We memorized poetry from What Your Kindergartener Needs to Know last year and will do the same from the first grade book this year. My three year old will be learning her ABCs. She has not shown much interest until recently, so we are going for full preschool this year! I am using the letter of the day curriculum from Brightly Beaming. We will memorize some poems and vocabulary words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcrownest Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 We are doing Cycle 3 with Classical Conversations. There are over well over 400 pieces of information. I am hoping one of my children will choose to be a memory master. Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
