It's LibrarianLou.blogspot.com. As a children's librarian, I wanted to share other resources that also work well with the Tapestry of Grace Curriculum.

The scheduling is laid out more intuitively (for me) and there's much less 'brain work' to get the program going. TOG sent me into total overwhelm! Illuminations is a bit more 'fun' I guess too, because MOH has built in hands-on activities that are tied directly to each lesson, you don't have to plan for them separately, pull out a separate section of your binder etc. I hope that makes sense! Let me know if you have any other specific questions! Also there is an Illuminations yahoo group, and you can get samples online too. Hi Janelle,

I have been reviewing TOG for my K/1st grader and 9th grader for next year. But just seeing all the leg work, reading and such overwhelms me. I would like to do more activities with my kids in subjects. I also went to the Illuminations and it sounds good, but sounding good is not always the way it is.

This year I'm using Illuminations 1 using MOH as a spine.

I am investigating TOG right now for my family of six kids and am concerned for the same reasons you are about the "Great Conversation" themes in TOG. With that in mind, is there another chronological history program you recommend that is geared toward multi-level teaching? Thanks!

I am new to Homeschooling and am using TOG this year (it seems to call to me). Thank you for your pros and cons- I will continue to seek God's direction as I teach. Blessings!
