Memory Work: Week of May 14, 2012

Forgot to post this yesterday. Sorry! Actually its been months since I posted for memory work but we have been working... sometimes. ;) Memory work is the theme this week though- checking what we know & how well, making mental notes. It's a good thing.

Memory Work for the week of May 14, 2012:

Bible: we're still working on Genesis1:29-31, reviewing the entire chapter as we go along. Jonathan and Elizabeth are still memorizing Psalm 121. This week, we're reviewing the Apostle's Creed, memorizing the character quality "forgivness" and Veritas Press Bible Card #9.

Catechism: For the Children's Catechism, Abigail is working on number 4; Elizabeth & Jonathan #45 & beyond. For the Westminster Shorter Catechism, Matthias #8 & beyond; Benjamin #68 & and Mama is reviewing #1-30. For the Heidelberg Catechism, Patricia is working #14 & beyond.
