The students, who range in age from 6 to 12, earned their Memory Master awards April 29 after each child spent about four hours recalling facts from several subjects.
The subjects included:
- History – a chronological timeline of 161 events and people,including all 44 United States presidents;
- Geography – identifying on a map 120 locations and geographic features in Africa, Europe, and the Old World;
- Science – the classification of living things and each continent’s highest mountains;
- Latin – noun endings and their singular and plural declensions;
- English – grammar facts, including 53 prepositions, 23 helping verbs, and 12 linking verbs;
- Math – reciting multiplication tables up to the 15’s, common squares and cubes, rudimentary geometry formulas, and unit conversions.
The event took place at Valley View Church of the Nazarene, host of the Classical Conversations Lancaster program.
