Piles and Piles of Books!



Here is a list of the 'Living Books' and other educational books we will be using this year for First Grade-
The Instructors Guide lays them all out so that you only read a few pages of educational material each day in History, Science and Language, then a chapter a day in the read-aloud chapter books.
Some books we may leave out for now and use them during the summer just to help us not get overwhelmed. We will be using the Four-Day Schedule Option in the Instructor Guide but we have all of the books for the 5-day option. This just means we will have extra read-alouds to fit in where we see fit.
