Hello All,

I am just wanting to introduce myself. My name is Rachel and this will be our first year homeschooling. I have two children. They are 5 & 3. We are all very excited to start our journey. We also recently (about 1 year ago) moved to the Phoenix area. I would enjoy meeting others who are starting out their schooling adventure with TOG.

Welcome to Phoenix and TOG. I live in Maricopa. Not sure where you are so we could be close, we could be far. :-)

This is my 4th year using TOG, so I am not new to it or to Home schooling. My oldest is a senior this year but I have a third grader too.

Let me know if you have questions or need help.

Hi Lisa,

Thank you so much for the reply. We live in Tempe. I am sure I will have questions. Do you know of many other moms here in the valley that are using TOG? I am very excited about starting. Thanks for the reply. Have a great weekend.

I know there are quite a few families using TOG as when Tapestry had a booth at the convention in Phoenix last year, I was a volunteer and we sold quite a few year plans. But I really don't know how many or where they live.

Are you famliar with HERO? If so you could post to HERO and try to find some others using it if you want to try to get together with them. If you don't know about HERO you can learn more here http://www.happilyeducatingourown.org/index.htm

Let me know if you need anything as you get started with TOG.

Lisa,

Thank you so much for all your useful advice. It is very appreciated. I am going through my lesson planning steps for the first unit, and very excited about the upcoming year. I will keep your email ready for questions. I will be looking into HERO soon. Are you part of a homeschooling group?
Have a blessed weekend.

Yes, we have a support group here in Maricopa where I live but we do not have a group for Tapestry Users. When I have questions I use this forum. It's awesome, especially since TOG authors answer.
