Book Lists for All Three Grades

As I have written earlier, we are going to take 54 weeks instead of 36 to do this year, because all three kids are skipping a year academically. This means for some parts (history, and literature) of the curriculum we'll be at the second grade grade level for the first part of the year, and the third by the end. On the other hand, for math, because Miquon is unique in its approach we are starting from the beginning with both kids.

There are a couple of history topics that I am not sure what book we will use. There just didn't seem to be a good edition for kids out there on Cromwell, or the French Revolution. Who would have thought...
