Parents of small children see every day that their little ones are remarkably equipped to remember all sorts of things—some you want them to remember always and some you wish they would quickly forget. The point is that early childhood is marked by an irreplaceably brief opportunity when children have the capacity to memorize extraordinary amounts of information with skill and with joy. We call this season Grammar School during which we train students in the foundations or facts of learning through songs, rhythmic chants, jingles, and stories.
