New Books

I received the shipment of rhetoric level books from Bookshelf Central. You would think I would be excited, but honestly, I'm worried. I've spent a lot of moolah on this venture and if it doesn't work I'm going to be sick.

Okay, calm down (speaking to myself).

A few days ago, I decided to reread the "General Introduction to Year 1." There was a lot of TOG information swimming around in my head and I wanted to get a better grasp on it. I'm taking notes as I go which has helped. I guess I'm extremely visual and need to see the most important points. There are a lot of pages to read.

ADVICE - Personally, I would read through the Explore Tapestry web pages first. They are concise and give a clear picture of Tapestry of Grace. Be sure to read through each sub category.

What is Tapestry?

1. Tapestry is....
2. 3 Big Ideas
3. Philosophy of Education

Another very good page to visit is an older(?) Explore Tapestry page. It has a list of each of the pages found in the weekly plan. If you click on the title, you will be taken to a sample with yellow sticky notes explaining how the pages are to be used. A very helpful one in particular has purple stickies explaining how to save time while using TOG.
