24. Art *

I prefer a rotating class offering things like cooking, crocheting, painting, ceramics, etc. I prefer to have either a “professional” teacher or a formal art curriculum. I prefer all art projects to coincide with history. I like what we are doing and don’t care as long as I don’t have to teach it. N/A Other

Comments *

26. Memory Work/Presentations *

I want to continue Memory Work as it is and I commit to studying the material at home. I like the memory work, but would prefer the material broken up so each class covers the appropriate memory work and we have an opening assembly for Hymns and Scripture memory. I want to discontinue memory work and keep presentations. I want to discontinue memory work and place presentations systematically into appropriate classes for example, Week 1-preK-2nd grade would have a presentation due in History, 3rd/4th grade would have a presentation due in Science, 5th/6th grade would have a presentation due in English. Week 2 where they present would rotate. Topics would be related to the class they are presenting in, but the skills being worked on would be consistent for all levels. N/A Other
