I got an awesome book from Yesterday's Classics , actually I got a bunch of cool books that I'll write about as we read them, but this one is called Poems Every Child should Know by Mary E. Burt. It is a great collection of nice poems and it is divided up starting with shorter and easier for younger kids and then moves into longer and harder poems for older kids. My 7 and 5 yr old, actually all the children are memorizing this one:
Little Things
Ebenezer Copham Brewer
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.
Thus the little minutes
Humble though they be,
Make the Mighty ages
Of Eternity
Isn't that so true? What a great way to internalize the message!
