TOG users, please check in here!

[HSMom2One]

I know there are a lot of us on the WTM forum, but I'm curious to know just how many are here. Would you mind adding yourself to the thread, say what year you are using and dc's ages/levels?

 

I have tried to use the TOG website, but it just isn't as varied and as active as the Hive.

 

Blessings,

Lucinda

[bkpan]

This is our first year with TOG, and we are just starting Y2 with D(1), UG(1), and LG(3). The 2yo just hangs out and messes up our work.:tongue_smilie:

We've wrapping up Y2, week 29 today. :) LOVE TOG!

We're doing TOG Yr 2 Unit 1 with both a dialectic (11) and rhetoric (15) student. We just started TOG last year with Yr 1.

[Melora in NC]

We are starting our 2nd year with TOG. I have a 7 yr old dd and an 11 yr old ds, using lower grammar & upper grammar levels (dipping into dialectic on occasion), and we are in Redesign Yr. 2.

[trisharog]

1st year with TOG . My son10(almost 11) went to a classical Christian school and he ended at the Renaissance so we picked up at YR2 unit 3 and will continue thru Year 3 unit 1. We are doing dialectic level

 

I am so glad you started this thread. I find this board more active and easier to navigate than the TOG board and it will be nice to see who else is on board.

The Yahoo groups are beneficial as well.

 

Thanks

3rd year with TOG

1 UG, 1 D

[jonnia]

We are beginning 2nd year with TOG, working through Year2 with my 7 yr-old son. (I'm learning so much!:D )

[1bassoon]

4th year of TOG here - we're finishing Week 4 of Year 2. This year, I have 1 Rhetoric student, 2 Dialectic, 1 Upper Grammar, and still trying to figure out what to do with the almost-5 year old!

 

I really love TOG. It fits how I think, I can tweak it to how my kids learn, and we all learn together. Can't imagine anything else, and I'm pretty jazzed to start my second go-around next year!:D

[Janis in DE]

This is our 5th year with TOG. We are on Year 2. We've used Classic and Redesign. My daughter is in 7th. It is our second year in Dialectic.

[HSMom2One]

Wow! Lots of us here.

 

And does anyone else supplement their TOG with SOTW history? Dd and I are reading SOTW and really admire SWB's writing format, putting it into all into a story. We think this is going to really compliment her UG reading and study experience.

 

Blessings,

Lucinda

[Karenciavo]

This is our 7th year of TOG. I have a UG son age 7 and a R son age 16. We are using Redesign Year 4 Digital Edition.

SOTW is scheduled on the "Alternate" page for History - and I use it as our history text

with my 3rd grade dd. We do both enjoy it!

[5sons]

This is our 2nd year. We are doing yr 2 week 24. Have 2UG and 2LG and a baby:) Love TOG. Can't wait for D and R levels.

We're doing TOG for the first time this year. We're doing Year One. Dd9 is doing a mom-created hybrid of UG and Dialectic. Ds5 is doing LG. I am using SOTW with ds as a spine for LG. We just finished up Unit 1 and we're loving it!

[Rhonda in TX]

My kids are transitioning between UG and D. We are finishing up Week 6 today (World War I is finally over!).

[bluemongoose]

This is my first post!

 

We have not started TOG yet. I had bought it to start this fall, but felt it might go over better next year. We will start in Aug with TOG 1 with 1LG student. It is exciting to see so many people positive about TOG. I really think I made the right curriculum choice!

 

 

p.s. where is the spell check....spelling is not my gifting!

[jewellsmommy]

This is our first year with TOG. We are on YR 1, Unit 1. We will be using SOTW as scheduled in the "alternative" section. I have only one, 7r old, dd and she is LG.

 

We chose the "other start" as outlined. We started in wk 4 instead of 1. So, we will go through wk 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9. This is in-order of history instead of the order the Bible was written. When we repeat in D stage we will go in the original order.

[Jmac]

First year using TOG. We are doing yr 1 with my first grader and pre ker.;)

[MamaT]

This is our first year with TOG. We are doing Year 1 and it's going great so far. I have 2 UG students. 1 D student, and 1 R student. We are in week 4 of Unit 1.

[laurad1125]

We started using TOG a few months ago with Year 1 Unit 4. We're going slowly and about 1/2 way through. I have 1 UG and 1 LG boy.

[KayT]

Ugg! I am currently here on the bed surrounded by weeks 27 -36 of year 2 that I printed off last night from my digital yr 2. We have used yr 1 redesigned and yr 2 unit 1 & 2. I really was burned out and disappointed about everything going digital instead of print. I. don't. like. digital. BUT I really don't like what we have tried for history in its place!!!! So, here I sit thinking of just picking up in TOG where we are and going on from there.

 

I picked up yr 3 an 4 in classic for next to nothing a book sale sooooo I think I am back in the TOG camp.

[Jane]

Year 1, teaching D, UG, and LG levels. :)

[shanvan]

My kids are 6 (doing mostly lower grammar) and 11 (using mostly dialectic).

 

We certainly pick and choose from resources and assignments.

Hi Lucinda!

 

I have done Y2 U4 classic, Year 3 classic and am now doing year 4 classic. I also own year 1, 2 and 3 redesign and really which I could swing the new redesign year 4 but it just isn't happening right now. :D

 

I think this is our 3rd year. We often take longer to finish, so our years don't exactly follow TOG years.

Hello!

We're doing Year 2 Unit 4 and loving it!

[Quiver0f10]

This is our second year with TOG. We started year 2 two weeks ago with grades 9(D), 8(D), 6(D), 3(LG) and 1st(LG). (My 11th grader is using Notgrass)

[HSMom2One]

That's 35 families, and counting!

[Leanna Tomlinson]

This is our 3rd year with TOG. We are in week 3 of Year 3 Redesign. I have 5 kids using YR 3 TOG. 1 R ds, 1 D ds, 1 UG ds, 2 LG dds.

 

BTW- My eldest is in her sophmore year in a Christian College. She called to ask me to bring several of our Rhetoric TOG books from year 1 to help with her Old Testament paper.:)

 

dd17 is a senior and going fast pace through TOG 3 & 4 to finish her last year at home.

[Teri in VA]

This is our second year with TOG. We'll be starting ReD Y2 in a few weeks.

 

I'll have an UG, a LG, and a Ker.

[homeschoolmommaof4]

We are doing TOG Redesigned DE - Year 1 at half pace with a LG and UG student. We are getting ready to start "week 2" which is actually weeks 3-4 for us!

[Shelly in IL]

We are doing Year 3, unit 1 right now. Love it for older kids - don't like it much for my 4th grader.

[specialmama]

Hi Lucinda :001_smile:

This is our 3rd year using TOG. We're on Redesigned Y2 and loving every minute of it!

 

ETA: this is the first year we're doing SOTW from the alternate reading page. We'll be using it to supplement, until unit 4, when we will use it to cover all of the history books. We're in Canada, and that unit in particular is very heavy into U.S. history. We do want to cover it, but in a simpler, cheaper, fun way. Using SOTW fit the bill perfectly, and it allows us to have more time to throw in some Canadian history to boot.

[koko]

Doing Year 3 classic with DSs Rhetoric, UG, and LG. This is our 5th year with TOG.

[Guest]

This is going to be our first full year using Tapestry of Grace. We did nine weeks of year one last year and had to set it aside due to life circumstances. We are starting back soon with TOG Year 1 Redesign DE (but I ordered the printed version too). All three of our children are LG students.

[HSMom2One]

41 families, still counting...

 

I think I'll start a s/o thread so we can keep counting here while also sharing some insights on TOG.

 

Blessings,

Lucinda

[J'etudie]

This is our first year doing TOG Redesigned. We're doing Y1 and maybe part of Y2 this year with younger kids.

[Joyful]

Hi! I'm signing in... :001_smile:

 

We are in our second year of using TOG!

This year, we are doing Y2 Red.

My kiddos are: almost 8 (UG/and read all of lil sis' LG books), 6 (LG/some UG), and 3 (he just hangs out).

[FunnyFarmMom]

This is our second year with TOG, using Year 2. I have an 8th grader doing D, 4th and 6th graders at UG and adding in, VERY lightly, our K dd at LG. We're going into week 3 and we already like this year better than last!
