MEMORY WORK:

Scripture: We'll spend the year working on our scripture memorization of Philippians 2:1-18 (KJV). Our intent with scripture memory is for students to hide God’s word deep in their hearts so that they can call upon it for comfort, reassurance, and strength in times of trouble. With that in mind, we will not be testing over this scripture, but we will be reciting it together as a school every morning during assembly time. Here is a link to an article that explains why we generally prefer to have our students memorize the King James Version.

Geography: We'll test over Central America this week. A hard copy of the maps can be found behind the "memory" tab in your child's binder. Additional maps, as well as MP3s of the songs, are available at this link: Geography Resources.

History: Here is a link to the history timeline song. We'll test over minutes 6:20-8:20 on 2/27. 

Poetry: Our fourth quarter poem is Psalm 139:1-18 (NIV). We will test over it on 5/1.
