To be memorized:
MY SHADOW
I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of him is more than I can see. He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head; And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.
The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow-- Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow; For he sometimes shoots up taller, like an Indian-rubber ball, And he sometimes gets so little that there's none of him at all.
He hasn't got a notion of how children ought to play, And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way. He stays so close beside me, he's a coward you can see; I'd think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!
One morning, very early, before the sun was up, I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup; But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head, Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.
Have the children copy two stanzas of the poem.
Have the children copy the rest of the poem, "My Shadow."

FIRST WEEK

JIM CROW
When Jim Crow became a member of our family he was very young, and could hardly balance himself upon his slender legs.
We fed him upon raw eggs and scraps of raw meat until he grew strong and the black feathers had become smooth and glossy, and the bright eyes were brighter, and Jim Crow had changed into a beautiful bird.
A smart bird was Jim, devoted to his master and mistress, hailing them with a loud caw whenever their steps were heard, and hopping about to greet them.
Jim could talk a little, and would have acquired much more knowledge of the language if he had lived longer.
He would spread his wings, purple in their deep black, and call in a hoarse voice, "Come on, come on," very distinctly.
He would greet his master with "Hello, Papa," and delighted in feeding from his hand. He knew when the butcher boy came with the meat, and was at the cook's side when she received the basket, croaking for his share.
Jim delighted in a plunge bath, and would splash away in an earthern crock a dozen times a day, if it was filled for him.
He liked red and blue, and if ladies called at the house dressed in these colors, the young crow would become frantic, spreading his wings and tail, and crying, "Come on, Come on," to the amusement of all.
He would often eat corn with the chickens, and would act in a very greedy way, filling his bill with the grain, rushing away and hiding it, then coming back for more. If the chickens did not eat as fast as they could, Jim had the lion's share.
Have the children tell, in their own words, the story of "Jim Crow."
Have the children write the story of "Jim Crow."
SECOND WEEK
Poem to be memorized:
THE LAND OF STORY BOOKS
At evening when the lamp is lit, Around the fire my parents sit; They sit at home, and talk and sing, And do not play at anything.
Now, with my little gun, I crawl All in the dark along the wall, And follow 'round the forest track Away behind the sofa back.
There, in the night, where none can spy, All in my hunter's camp I lie And play at books that I have read Till it is time to go to bed.
These are the hills, these are the woods, These are my starry solitudes, And there the river, by whose brink The roaring lions come to drink.
