GREAT! You have your materials organized. You are almost ready to jump in and start using Tapestry of Grace. You will need to buy those books you want to have in your personal library and get the rest from the public library, or if you are lucky, from friends. I keep a basket in the living room with the books we'll be using for the next couple of weeks.
Now, if you want to be extremely organized, you might consider "dotting" the spines of the TOG books that you own, and grouping them chronologically on your bookshelf! What is dotting, you ask? It is the practice of using colored stickers, such as Avery 3/4" round color coding labels, to label the spines of books used in a particular TOG Year Plan.
Year 1 - Red
Year 2 - Yellow
Year 3 - Green
Year 4 - Blue
Books used for more than one year would have more than one dot. An extra-fine black Sharpie marker can be used to write unit and/or week numbers on the dot, if desired - ex. U2 W15. Some people cover the dot with a piece of clear packing tape ( as the library uses ) for durability. This way you can easily see which books on your shelf go with which Year Plan, and books can be reshelved more easily.
Of course, this step is entirely optional. I have used TOG for 4 years now without Dots. But I'm tempted...
Now sit down with a piece of paper and write out a weekly schedule. Some people like this to be much more detailed than others. Here are some resources to help in scheduling your day. Choose whichever fits your personal style the best!

You don't have to do every subject every day. Most people schedule their TOG reading for the beginning of the week ( maybe even starting over the weekend) , schedule one day for geography, another day for time lines, spread writing throughout the week, and set aside time late in the week for discussions, hands-on projects, or a Co-op.

I think the colors for "dotting" are:
Year 1 - red, Year 2 - yellow/gold, Year 3 - green, and Year 4 - blue.
I could be mistaken, but those are the colors of my redesigned covers through YR3.
Thanks for this great site! Very helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing your information! I was confused as to how to set-up everything until now (especially for my children). This was truly a blessing and helpful to starting our new year with TOG.

And as we all know, too much stress can be
harmful to health. It's almost always easy to make a joke about the way a cat ends up lying down or sitting. The videos relax, they make people smile and as they say, laughter is the best medicine.

Education is not about memorizing and getting the degrees in hand.
I also have to wonder if the evening news shows are more interested in ratings or in reporting the real news.
They can also update news on their site as and when the event occurs while the newspapers have to wait until the next morning.

Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you're working with? I'm
looking to start my own blog soon but I'm having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking
for something unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I
had to ask!
