Coco_Clark Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 It looks like you are new to the forum, welcome! Maybe you could expound a bit on your question?I think what memory looks like in 4th grade for any one student would depend on quite a few things; if that student has been consistently doing memory work or is new to memory work, for example. Or what the students/families values, interests are. Or what the goal of doing memory work in the first place is. I dont think any families memory list is the same as another.

fourisenough Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 For us this year, it looks like Classical Conversations cycle 3 plus 6 poems & 6 famous speeches from American history. We practice it daily for 20-30 minutes. My child has been doing memory work for three years and does so fairly easily & enthusiastically.

Aurelia Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Ours was: memorize a poem. When that's fluent, memorize another poem. Repeat. Not exciting, maybe, but DD learned quite a few poems and I didn't want to push a bunch of memorization when she's already working on a lot of skills that were difficult for her, including Latin.
