READING LOG
First Grade
TOG-1, SOTW-1
We're using both Tapestry of Grace and Story of the World this year, so I thought I'd keep a log of the books we read, as well as the sections/weeks we've coordinated between the two spines. Both kids are in first grade. I have an Excel spreadsheet in progress but I'll wait to post that until we're further along.
*I liked the way that SOTW laid out the first few weeks in chronological order, so I used that as my main "map." I pulled literature recommendations from TOG in the weeks that I felt corresponded to the topic SOTW covered. There are lots of over-laps in the first few weeks. We frequently read a few of these books out of order, and/or repeated them if we enjoyed them.
** We combined weeks 1 and 2 of SOTW, as we had covered them before.
