Every month (beginning in September), students will be given the assignment to complete a Classical Book Report. The books chosen need to be from the list of approved classic reading and of the specified genre for the month. I have not read all of these books and some of the subject matter may not be appropriate for your first grader.

​If there is a book that your child would like to read that is not on the approved classic reading list, email me the title and author to request approval
