Karen FL Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Me too! I'm so excited too! I feel like I have been homeschooling all these years without exhaling. Now I can exhale!!! What year are you doing? We're starting with Year Two. I showed my 5th grade ds what he needed to read and accomplish this week. As suggested by Marcia Sommerville in one of the summer webinars for UG students and older I had him write out his own schedule. I didn't think he could do it. I thought he would balk and whine and say he couldn't write small enough. He amazed me and did a great job figuring out what days he would do everything. Just wow! ~Karen~ -Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXMary2 Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 We are doing Year 2 also, but we are starting with Unit 3 because we just did a whole year of the Middle Ages! So we'll do Y2 U3 and 4 and Y3 U1 and 2. I have an LG (1st grade) and a D/R (9th grade). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSMom2One Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Last year was our first year with TOG and we loved it, so I understand your excitement! Tomorrow we begin another school year and we will pick up where we left off at YR 1 Unit 4. My plan is for us to complete this and then do YR 2 Units 1-3 by next summer. My dd is especially excited to learn about Medieval history, but I don't want us to linger there too long. We need to get across the Atlantic eventually! There will be lots to learn and discover as we transition from UG to D level, and I can't wait. Have fun this week. I look forward to hearing the reports! :~) Blessings, Lucinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamato4girls Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I am so happy for you all! I am "supposed to be starting" today, but I threw in the towel, I just can't wrap my head around it. To the OP I look forward to see pictures on your blog! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemMommy Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 but not starting TOG 3 yet. We do at least a week of half-day school each year. I'm not up to starting everything at one AND, more to the point, I'm still having my TOG3 books shipped here. Just remember to worry about just one week of TOG at a time. If you are busy one week, drop some part of TOG. The world won't end!! We never got to week 35 and 36 of TOG2. Oh, well!! I hope you love your TOG adventure. It's truly been wonderful here these last two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa in CA Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 If you are busy one week, drop some part of TOG. The world won't end!! :iagree::iagree::iagree: Some weeks you will have no trouble getting everything done, but there will be some weeks you are going to flounder! No biggie. Your students will get PLENTY of history even if you don't get it all done. Don't sweat it. Besides, your teacher's notes can easily help you teach whatever may have been missed. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
