September's Topic: Memory

Memory is considered the staple of the grammar stage in Classical Education.  The idea is that if we give our children lots of information now, they will be able to call on that knowledge and be able to use it as they get older and are able to make sense of it. We will explore the subject of memory for the month of September.  We will look at how we teach it in our own homes, how do we choose what we want our children to memorize, how to make it stick and any other ideas that might be relevant.
