Threads
allow you to understand your
teaching objectives for the week. Presented in bite-size paragraphs, a
quick peek will give you the direction you need for each student in your
home.
Reading
Assignments are
the backbone of Tapestry, directing your student to his or her
weekly booklist. Divided by learning levels and separated into
categories, Reading Assignment charts make customizing your student's
weekly and daily reading assignments easy and enjoyable.
Overview
is a two-page summary of the
week's work (except the reading). This
should be the first place your student opens up to find out what's
planned for projects, maps, time line work, or famous people they'll
be getting to know.
Writing
tells your student exactly
what they'll be putting on paper this week. Tapestry of Grace
is designed so that the students write in the latter half of the week,
but it sure helps to know what the topics are, so they can start
thinking.
Student
Activity pages
are "home base" for your students. Following the color-coding
to their learning level, these pages contain craft ideas, geography
assignments, comprehension and analysis questions, and much more.
Teacher's
Notes were
written by moms for moms. We understand that you don't have time to read
all that your students do. This is our summary of what your students are
reading, as well as a peek ahead into next week. We basically just want
to make your life as easily informed as possible.
Supplement
means jackpot! Not every week
has a supplement - they only show up when we've got so much good stuff
we couldn't squeeze it all into the regular pages.

Map
Aids help
your whole family with the "where" for all the who, what, and
how
of history studies! Tapestry assigns all the geography work
you need, and Map Aids puts all the maps in one place. Print off as many
custom-drawn, learning-level
specific outline maps as you need each week. Then, they can check their
answers with the teacher's maps provided in Map Aids!
Writing
Aids help both
student and teacher tackle writing as outlined in Tapestry of Grace.
Packed with teaching tips, student notes, examples, and grading systems
to make teaching easier, Writing Aids makes writing with Tapestry
go from great to incredible! Click here
for an overview of all the
genres that Writing Aids covers.
Lap
Books are great for your hands-on learner!
Flaps, tabs, mini-books and so much more make a regular set of folders
and paper burst with historical life. Available as instructions (for the
student who learns best by making) and templates or pre-assembled (for the student who
learns best by exploring), lap books are a delightful addition to your
student's education.
Evaluations
make focusing your student's studies easier than
ever. Evaluations can be used to measure what
your children have learned, to direct their focus, to teach them test-taking
skills, or even as supplementary discussion notes!
Pop
Quiz is
Tapestry's way of bringing working dads into the fun of
multi-level learning. Each week, the Pop Quiz audio CD provides a
brief summary of your students' weekly topic, and provides
age-appropriate questions so that Dad can be a part of your family's
educational conversation! It's not just for dads, though. Pop Quiz
is also a great tool for moms on the go!

Just
a quick word of instruction. We've split our typical
week-plan up into PDF documents annotated with sticky notes and circles. Double click on the
notes or circles in order and you'll take a guided tour of each
component. You can also print any of these files at any time. To print this entire week-plan so you can have it in your hands as we
