My kids have been in classical conversations since 2010. I always struggle with expanding on the history sentences so I decided to get a history reading list together of books I already have and books I need to get. I pin items to a pinterest board (see that here) but I inadvertently get distracted scrolling thru all the pins so I decided I need a list. This will be my quick reference guide for the years to come as my preschooler goes thru cycle 1 as well. I hope this can be of some use to others as well.
