Shelly in IL Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 We are starting with year 2. I know I've read not to over do it at first, what do you recommend that I make on my first order? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karenciavo Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 It depends. I, personally, would get a bonus bundle. From the TOG web site: Bonus Bundle 08: Year 2 Here's your best deal on a year's worth of Tapestry of Grace products! The Bundle: one complete Year-Plan, Map Aids, and reinforced tabs--plus your choice of Writing Aids, a full year of Pop Quizzes, a full year of lapbook kits, or every level of Evaluations. The Bonus: your choice of a Unit 1 Pop Quiz, Unit 1 Lapbook Kit, any one level of Evaluations, or $15 Gift Certificate. Put them together and you've got the most bang for your educational buck! Price: $295.00 If you didn't want any of the extras I would at least get the year plan and the Map Aids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly in IL Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 and a glazed look in her eye!) Just kidding. But, I do want as much as I need to have a great year with 7th grade ds and 3rd grade ds. The bonus bundle is great, which add ons do I want?

Langhaven Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I personally love ALL the add-ons. If you have younger, crafty children that learn by doing, the lapbooks are very nice. If you have older children and you want a means by which to evaluate their learning for a transcript, the Evaluations are fabulous. We tested every week and did all the Unit Exams. Before they had the evaluations, I always wondered how to go about grading their understanding. This really helped. The Pop-quizzes are nice for dad - and I listened to them early in the week while getting ready in the morning (they are a 10 minute overview of each week), to get me going before I read the teacher's notes. This would be the optional leave out, if you liked everything else they offer for extras and didn't want to purchase everything. Have fun shopping!

Karenciavo Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Do you want to do the writing portion of TOG or do you already have a writing program? Writing Aids would be good if you are using TOG for writing. Pop Quiz is a good summary for dad, but I like to listen to them myself. The lapbooks would be fun for your 3rd grader (maybe even your 7th grader.) If I were new to TOG I would purchase the bonus bundle with Writing Aids and a lapbook as a the bonus.

Shelly in IL Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 How much do you figure I have ahead of me after that purchase? The core books I know i should have - any dollar figure you can throw out as an estimate after the bonus bundle and any extra goodies?

Karenciavo Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 The easiest thing to do is go to the Bookshelf and do a power search of year 2 lower grammar, I think you can only do one unit at a time. Put all the items in a cart and you will see the price. I use my library a lot, I don't use every book, and I buy used; if you are willing to do those things you will not spend anything near what is in the cart.
