text: looking for little quotes to help children remember things about english, math, all subjects. can you help? i know there are little sayings that can help students to remember things like with the planets ,directions, things in math and other subjects, i would like to know some of these to help the students i work with. my daughter's kindergarten teacher has alot of neat little rhymes and songs to help the kids remember tings like how to write their letters & numbers, punctuation, etc. i've included those that i remember-  these are little rhymes to help the kids remember the shape of the numbers (for writing)- 1- start at the top, and a straight drop, now i'm done making a one! 2- two, two! around and back on a railroad track. 3- around a tree and around a tree, that's the way you make a three! 4- down and over and down some more, that's the way you make a four. 5- across, down and a big round belly, big old five is full of jelly! 6- a line and a circle, mr. six is full of tricks! 7- across the sky and down from heaven, that's the way to make a seven! 8- make an "s" but don't be late, go back up and shut the gate. 9- a hoop and a line, that makes a number nine!  for punctuation- a period is a "ding". an exclaimation point is a "whoop-ding!" a question mark is a "hmmmm-ding..."  there are several of those rhymes about the planets, but the one i remember is "my very eager mother just served us nine pizzas."  i also remember this ine from biology class, for remembering the order of the kingdom, phyllum, class, order, family, genus, species - "king philip can order funny green socks"  for recalling the musical notes on the trebel clef- "every good boy deserves fudge"  i also found some intersting info on "mnemonics" on wikipedia. here's the link - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/mnemonic  i hope that these help! take care :) mj
