AO Year 6 Term 1

Updated-- Evidently, I was not finished selecting Mariel's books, because I had to make some changes today.

Here is Mariel's list of books for the first term of the new school year. (It might be helpful to note that math and writing/grammar programs are not listed on these lists. These are just book books.)

(Also, I am not including our family Bible reading on these lists either, because it isn't quite solidified. We are beginning at Genesis again for the Old Testament, and will read a Gospel for the first term, perhaps Luke and then Acts. Triss does her own Bible reading on the side as well, and Mariel is working on that habit. Since individual Bible reading is a personal habit that should be continued outside of school time, I don't put it on the list.)
