Our memory verses (in the NIV) this year are ABC verses. Each week's verse starts with the next letter of the alphabet. (A: All Scripture is God-breathed... B: Blessed are the... C: Children, obey your parents... and so on.) Most of the verses were chosen for their, um, instructive nature, and as I have mentioned in an earlier post, they're not only instructive for the kids; I need them too! :)

Repetition, Repetition
We begin every school day (except for Tuesdays, since we leave the house between 7:30 and 8:00 for CHET) with the Pledge of Allegiance. Our address and phone numbers, how to dial 911, and all the memory verses we've worked on as well as the current one are all posted on the bulletin board above our school-table for easy reference. After the Pledge of Allegiance, we review our address and phone numbers, and our memory verse for the week. About once a week, we also review how and when to dial 911.
