Memory Work

The memory work will be written out first at school in a booklet and taken home each night to practice.  These booklets must be returned back to school each day as we will use them in other activities.  Students will be tested orally on their memory work and it is a pass or fail evaluation.  Students may however, make two mistakes (i.e. insert an extra word, forget a word) but any more than two, will result as a fail.  Students will receive a small award every time they successfully recite three memory verses.  It does not have to be recited consecutively in a row (i.e. pass the first two times, fail the third, but pass the fourth week = a reward).  The recommended reading section is not assigned reading, it complements the Bible program & what we are studying each week.  Please read the passages before reading them with your child as some require adult explanation even though they are reviewed at school first.
