I've requested to join those groups but haven't been approved yet I guess.....

Hi! I haven't started it yet, I'm scouring the sample for next year. How is it going for you? What levels are you teaching? Do you have a blog or something tracking your progress? I'm full of questions. :)

Oh thank you! Yes I am definitely interested in the other years. Oh bummer I'm not sure why it's not showing up. I don't have any members yet but I plan to get as many as possible! :))) Try this... https://m.facebook.com/pages/Tapestry-of-Grace/88843917236?id=88843917236&_rdr#!/groups/470543556332158?ref=bookmark&__user=1306091386 Let me know if it works. :)

I made a group on Facebook for anyone interested in joining to share ideas, planning tips, resources, and basically to support one another while journeying through year one of TOG. I will be new to the program myself and I'd really like to be connected with others on the same path. We can share other components we are using to embellish our homeschools too. Just search "Tapestry of Grace Year One" if you're interested. :)

Lol me neither...I keep trying and it's not working! I'm California.....

I am bad about projects myself...but I need to work harder on it-my kids really like them. My ds10 was working on his CA Mission project, (traditional CA standards in action) when we pulled him from the homeschool charter school. I asked him (with fingers crossed 😜) if he still wanted to build his model. He thought for a minute then asked if he could build all 21 of them!!!! 😳ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

That's funny Ellie...my ds10 will read nothing but LOTR right now. He says once he's done there will be NOTHING to read because nothing can top them. Cracks me up!

Thanks I will check it out. :)

We like Phonetic Zoo as well as Spelling Power. I let my kids pick which one they use. (4 kids 4 diff opinions) The olders like SP so they can do it together-littles like PZ so they can do it "by themselves".

Thanks for the great responses ladies! Very helpful indeed. I love this forum. ðŸ˜

I have not had any experience whatsoever but I'm very curious to know more as the charter school my kids just joined uses CK-12 primarily. Personally, when I looked at the website I felt overwhelmed as to "creating" a book. What if I miss key concepts? Or are there books already made you log in for? I was confused but I know it's just me needing some explanation. My kids will be in Alg 1 and Geometry next year and I really need to know if this program will work for them or if I need to buy them something else. (Thinking Kinetic Books)

I will be new to TOG next year with all 4 levels doing YR1. Forgive me if I'm unaware of something already set up somewhere to compare notes but I would love to figure out a way to stay connected with others doing the same thing with similar age ranges. Please share if you know if any such thing. :)

I am not quite there yet but getting close so very interested in the replies you may get. I'm considering doing the same for my dd15 next year-she will be a sophomore, and she's interested in getting ECE units so she can get a job at a local preschool while completing high school and college.

My daughter loved everything from Gene Stratton Porter when she was about 12. Also the Dear America Series, Anne of Green Gables, Cherry Ames, Sue Barton (she loves nursing books) anything by Louisa May Alcott, The Diary of Anne Frank, The Hiding Place (maybe a little older for content here)Jane Eyre, Night and Roll of Thunder Hear my Cry. (Any historical fiction really) I can't keep the kid stocked with enough books...she's 15 now so it's even harder as I'm particular as to the content she reads.

I found out last week we are moving next week. Therefore my week has been horrific. 😠I have my littles focusing on some specific skills they need to master and staying out of my hair. (sight word and multiplication flash cards) and my bigs are studying tape dispenser mechanisms and cardboard box assembly. 😜 I.am.bushed.
