Lara! She chose to do poems at this stage with her children (though her girls sing for most of the week day services, so they get lots of practice on the Psalms). We actually do both - we have a memory box for memory work that includes work in science, latin, Bible and poetry. So for us it is not an either/or, we do both. We spend about 10 minutes each morning on recitation - going over all the areas of our memory work.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15559423891850170899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932568289336255559.post-27225482674476222812008-09-13T23:38:00.000-05:002008-09-13T23:38:00.000-05:00Love the whole family beach pic!!Love the whole family beach pic!!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06688151837498009252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932568289336255559.post-46871328748345647912008-09-13T23:37:00.000-05:002008-09-13T23:37:00.000-05:00Thanks for posting this.

Not that I don't love the opportunity to memorize good poetry, (I've always loved it since I was a kid), I just wondered, do you also do Psalms? The majority of our memory work so far has been from the psalms. The fun benefit is that 7yo can now recite the psalms for Small Compline and can do Psalm 50 at church for Matins. And he recently told me he thinks David was the best poet ever. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, we're both having a blast right now memorizing a part of Marc Antony's speech from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. It goes nicely with our history and I just couldn't resist having him do it. He loves knowing that I memorized it in tenth grade and he's doing it now.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06688151837498009252noreply@blogger.com
