The student will need a copy of the book for each week to read.  Students may also create a craft in class and should have some glue, scissors, coloring pens/pencils/crayons of their choice and a pencil to write with for each class.  Before the class, I will upload any paperwork that may be needed for that week so that each student can have it printed and ready to be used in class.  

The Merlin Missions stories are created for students aged 7-10.  The AR levels are between grade level 2.2 and 4.0.  Some of the books have subject matter that may be scary for some students.  For example, book #3, Summer of the Sea Serpent has a large snake-like creature in the story, which may be scary for some students.  Also, some stories discuss holidays like Christmas and Halloween (or Hallows Eve as it was called in historical times).  These holidays will be discussed from a secular viewpoint.  Please be sure to preview the stories to ensure that they will not be scary for your young learner.  Please reach out to me if you feel the subject matter is too scary for your child and we can discuss how to best make your learner more comfortable through that time.

This class will not discuss book #25 Shadow of the Shark due to its inaccurate historical presentation.
