It's my go-to if I have a question I can't seem to answer on my own about classical education. I also own Andre Pudewa's Poetry program. That's what we use for poetry. My 5 and 7 year old are starting the program and my 12 year old is on level 2. He can really knock out a poem in no time. Brain training! My husband came up with our memory passages this year from a Derrick Prince teaching I believe. Our first passage is, "Jesus bore our shame that we might share His glory." Then they memorize Heb 12:2. Every passage has what Jesus endured to give us life. I enjoy your blog only in that you say what I think in my head. <br /><br />Beth<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3165152289947787094.post-31340112782987546812012-09-29T19:47:23.489-05:002012-09-29T19:47:23.489-05:00Have you read TWTM?

They are lists of information in there that could be foundational to history- but, my word, it is a LOT of information! <br />We concentrate on poetry and bible, too!! Have your read Andrew Pudewa's intro to Language Aquisition Through Poetry Memorization? A terrific apologetic for poetry memorization!! Love that you continue to utilize memory work.

That being said, while I really enjoyed having all my memory work laid out, I didn't like it without context. So, we started up our studies this year and we are memorizing in the context of what we are learning. My problem is history in that it's been hard to bring a week's worth of learning down to one sentence. After trying to put the CC history memory passages into a sequential order, I realized how random they were. So, we are concentrating on poetry and Bible verse memorization along with a timeline. Thanks for the encouragement to keep on going. No, it's not the base of our homeschool or learning, but it's a really important addition.The Benson Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11111340696775472713noreply@blogger.com
