Tapestry of Grace (TOG) Planning

We  have entered our 3rd year of using Tapestry of Grace and could not say that I have really a system down when it comes to planning out Tapestry. This year, because I want to accomplish more from the curriculum (up to now I was focusing on History, Geography and Literature), I am attempting a more rigorous planning system. Here I will lay it out and we shall see how it turns out in practice.

Before the year started, for Unit 1:
  • Made a list of what needs to be done every week, such as: literature assignment, which project, map work etc...
  • Made a list of the vocabulary words to be entered in Spelling City for each week.
  • Printed out the maps needed for each week.
  • Make a master list of timelines figures and dates.
Week before:
  • Order books from the library (preferably early in the week or better yet 2 weeks before.
  • Mark the pages in each books that we are going to read.
  • Gather supplies for projects 
  • Enter the week's vocabulary words into Spelling City
Our week's schedule:

Monday & Tuesday:  History and literature readings
Wednesday: Map Work and vocabulary work (continue reading if not yet completed)
Friday: Vocabulary work and special project (continue reading and map work if not yet completed)

This plan does not really work out very well yet, but I think this is a a good starter plan that I need to attain. Our first six week of school was tainted with my brother's visit, so I was not really able to establish a good routine. We will see how it goes when we resume school after our 4 weeks of vacation.

Reformation Day Giveaway

We are approaching October 31, which is an important date for all protestants. This date commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to a church door on October 31, 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany, which in turn provoked a debate that resulted in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Martin Luther is a vital figure in Church History. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone,  and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as  Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation.  Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip ,  has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's sto...
