Tapestry of Grace Binders

Last school year I created binders for the Student Activity Pages for our Tapestry of Grace Curriculum. Because TOG is such a "buffet" the publishers do not make student worktexts. Each family uses the curriculum differently in the way that meets their family's needs for that school year.

I created one binder for each of the kids for each unit. That would be six student binders for each of the four units. I included in the binders the reading assignment, writing assignment, map work and student activity pages for the books we were reading for each week. There are typically 9 weeks to each unit. Here is what some our binders looked like:



This week I have been working on putting together binders for the 09/10 school year. I have a ton of copying completed and am now working on putting the binders together. This year I am using white card stock on the covers so I could print the TOG Cover artwork. One of the moms on the TOGLooseThreads list created some great weekly dividers with artwork and shared them with the list. (Thanks to the person that did this!!) So I am using them for the first Unit. I really like the artwork and my 5 year old got excited because he saw the knights and castles and it started a conversation about what we would be learning about this year. He can't wait for school now.  I have to admit though, that I'm not sure I will print out the remaining 26 weeks X 6 students just for the artwork.  But Unit 1 looks great. :) Here are what they look like so far. I still need to apply the adhesive tabs to show the weeks like the binders above.
