If any of you are using Mother of Divine Grace plans for the upcoming school year, (specifically Kindergarten, Third or Sixth grades), I made files of all the memory work and have included them here if you'd like to download them for your children's binders.

I put ours in plastic page protectors and then in 1/2 inch, 3 ring binders, one per child. I have also placed the circle time lineup in the Kindergarten poetry binder so it is easily accessible each morning. The children will memorize a stanza per week, recite the entire poem when they feel confident and then illustrate the poem for their poetry notebooks.
