Monday begins our 20th year of home schooling.  I have a 15 year old, a 10 year old and an 8 year old still at home.  This year I wanted to work on some Bible memory work with the two younger boys.  I decided we would memorize passages from the gospel of John where Jesus states that “I am…”  The method I’m using is similar to what I have used in Bible class but at home we get the added bonus of working a little everyday.  Each day we will read the entire passage together and then they will:

• Read the entire passage on Monday
• Copy a portion of the passage on Tuesday.
• Illustrate that part on Wednesday.
• Either write the portion for the week by memory or copy it again on Thursday
• Recite what we’ve learned so far on Friday.

There are boxes to either put a check mark or a sticker when a task is completed.  Each page is intended to last one week.  The title page will go  in the front pocket of a 3 ring binder until that entire passage is memorized.  Then it will go in the binder in front of the pages used to memorize that passage.  The final page is a special challenge.  The boys will be encouraged to write the entire passage by memory.

As a little something extra, there are bookmarks that go along with each of the memory passages above. These should be printed on cardstock. You can give them to your child as a reward for memory work done or give it to him at the beginning so he can look at it frequently. Bookmarks for I Am…
