Memory:
Please spend 15 minutes per day working on the following memory work.
Poetry: Our first quarter poem is "Rise Up O Men of God". A copy is in your student's binder under the memory section. Practice this with a family member, pet, or stuffed animal as an audience. If you really want a challenge, try using yourself as an audience in a mirror!
