Acknowledging Him

As I mentioned before, we are using Story of the World vol 2 as our main history text this year. We read aloud a chapter, or occasionally two, a week, and supplement with lots of other fun books from the public library or ours. Most of our book selections came for the Tapestry of Grace website, but I have added a few, removed a few, and am liable to add in more next time I visit the library! Without further ado, here are the books we have or will use for our first unit on the middle ages: Tenggren’s Golden Tales of the Arabian Nights (LOVE this book!) Patrick: Patron Saint of Ireland - Tomie De Paola Life in a Medieval Monastery - Victoria Sherrow You wouldn’t want to be a crusader! - Fiona MacDonald Francis, the Poor Man of Assisi - Tomie De Paola The Minstrel in the Tower - Gloria Skurzynski Adventures of Marco Polo - Russell Freedman Castle Diary - Richard Platt (worth getting in hardback!) Chanticleer and the Fox - Chaucer, Barbara Cooney Marguerite Makes a Book - - Bruce Robertson Johann Gutenberg and the Amazing Printing Press - Bruce Koscielniak Gutenberg - Leonard Everett Fisher A Medieval Feast - Aliki The Making of a Knight - Patrick O'Brien The Story of Joan of Arc - Gregory Guiteras or Joan of Arc - Diane Stanley Knights - Stephanie Turnbull (an Usborne book)
The Adventures of King Arthur – (our library has lots of King Arthur stories, not sure which I will use yet, or where I will place them in our studies. I may use these three books as read alouds) The Door in the Wall – De Angeli (LOVE it) The Sword in the Tree – Robert Clyde Bulla (I may try to have Arianna read this)
This is a lot of books! But we are all really excited about this time period and have been having fun so far. When we move onto another unit, I will post that list. And my next post will be about our art and music studies, so if you are just here for the cute kid pics, you may have to wait till after THAT. |
