Yesterday we had our first Tapestry of Grace (TOG) co-op meeting. We went over weeks 1 and 2 of Year 1 Unit 1 which is Egypt. The day went extremely well considering all of us are new to TOG and co-ops of this kind. We started off with salt dough maps of either Egypt or …
We have been using Rod and Staff’s English Grammar textbooks for 3 years now and I really like them. They are thorough, well-organized, with good explanations. There are more exercises than I feel are really necessary for my children, but I have solved this by not assigning every question in each set. Doing this took about …
I finally figured out at least one way to post my schedules here. I converted my spreadsheets to images and then post just like pictures. This is our MWF schedule. Our Tuesday/Thursday schedule. This is our chore list. It tells us what to do when our schedule says morning chores, etc. I ran across a …
I have finally come up with a schedule that we can give a shot for school in the fall. There are still a few blank spaces but I think we’ll just have to try it to see where the problem areas are. I’m trying to figure out how to post it using google docs. If …

We decided several months ago to use Tapestry of Grace Year 1 next year. I am very excited about it. I am going to be involved in a small co-op (5 families) meeting every other week. We’ve never been in a co-op before so it will be a new experience for us. The kids are …
Last Friday, our local homeschool group sponsored “Around the World Night”. This was the first year we participated. We chose Madagascar for our country. Actually my husband picked it because it was unusual and had interesting animals to study. We used pictures from Enchanted Learning for a Ring-tailed lemur and a chameleon. We found a …
This morning when I peeked out the boys’ window to check on our bird, she was gone and so were the eggs. I’m not sure when she left. I don’t remember for sure if I checked on her yesterday, but I know she was there on Saturday. It has been raining all day so I …
