Rolex Datejust 16234 'Silver/Creamy Tapestry Dial' Nadat de 160XX-referentieserie in 1977 werd geïntroduceerd, lanceerde Rolex 11 jaar later, in 1988, de 162XX-referentieserie, die doorging tot ongeveer 2006. Het 3035-kaliber werd vervangen door het 3135-kaliber, dat werd verder verfijnd. Dit kaliber werd het langst gebruikte uurwerk van Rolex. Bovendien stopte Rolex met het gebruik van plexiglas en rustte de 162XX Datejust-serie uit met krasbestendig saffierglas. Eind jaren '90 stopte Rolex met het gebruik van tritium en vanaf het jaar 2000 werden alle wijzerplaten voorzien van Super-Luminova. Door de jaren heen zijn er voor de Datejust verschillende kiesopties geïntroduceerd. De stalen modellen van de 16234 hadden echter een relatief conventionele selectie van wijzerplaatkleuren om uit te kiezen, zoals de traditionele witte, zwarte, diepblauwe en zilveren wijzerplaten. Het zal je opvallen dat deze vintage Datejust niet beschikt over een standaard zilveren wijzerplaat, maar over de prachtige zogenaamde Tapestry wijzerplaat! Deze Rolex Datejust 16234 dateert uit 1995. Het horloge verkeert in schitterende staat! De kast blijft, samen met de 18K witgouden gecanneleerde ring, scherp en ziet er ongepolijst uit. Deze bezel heeft twee hele kleine inkepingen aan de zijkant van de kroon, deze vallen nauwelijks op en kunnen niet als storend worden ervaren. Wij hebben er bewust voor gekozen om het horloge in originele staat te houden. Een ander kenmerk waar we erg blij mee zijn, is de zilveren Tapestry-wijzerplaat. Het is samen met de wijzers gelijkmatig verouderd en vertoont een mooie champagne/crèmekleurige tint. De elegante, periode-correcte Jubilee-armband vertoont minimale rek voor zijn leeftijd. De sluiting heeft enkele zeer lichte krasjes, maar ook hier hebben wij ervoor gekozen om het horloge in de originele staat te houden! Het automatische 3135 uurwerk heeft een servicebeurt gehad. Deze prachtige vintage Rolex Datejust 16234 wordt geleverd met 1 jaar garantie vanaf . - Zilveren Tapestry-wijzerplaat met een mooie champagne/crèmekleurige patina - Scherpe, ongepolijste kast en 18K witgouden gecanneleerde bezel - Twee kleine inkepingen in de gecanneleerde bezel op de 3-uurpositie - Groene fabriekssticker op de achterkant van de kast is nog steeds aanwezig - 62510H Jubilee armband met weinig tot geen rek, sluitingscode W - W20XXXX serie, dateert uit 1995 - Uurwerk heeft servicebeurt gehad - 1 jaar garantie op het uurwerk - Gratis verzekerde verzending binnen de EU Datejust In het jaar 1945 werd ter ere van de eerste Datejust de eerste Datejust geïntroduceerd uit het 40-jarig bestaan van Rolex, onder referentie 4467. Dit was het eerste zelfopwindende horloge met een waterdichte kast die ook de datum aangaf. De datum werd zelfs automatisch na middernacht omgezet. De Datejust was voorzien van een gekartelde bezel en de bekende Jubilee-band, speciaal ontworpen voor de Datejust. De datum werd op de 3-uurmarkering geplaatst. Tien jaar later, in 1955, kreeg het datumvenster een "cyclopslens", die de datum tot tweeënhalf keer vergroot. De meest iconische modellen van Rolex werden geproduceerd om te functioneren als ‘toolwatches’. De Datejust had echter geen specifiek doel. Dit model moest een klassiek, betrouwbaar horloge voor alledaags gebruik zijn, geschikt voor elke gelegenheid in het dagelijks leven.

Can I be honest with you? I mean r-e-a-l-l-y honest...the kind of honest that might offend some and anger others? I wanted to like Tapestry of Grace. I wanted it to be the curriculum that would carry us through the rest of our homeschooling years....an anchor to keep us firmly-rooted in schedule and habit and cadence. I wanted it to be the "tapestry", shall we say, for which all academic threads of our schooling were woven in and through. But, after only six weeks into this looks-really-great-in-theory dream, I realized that Tapestry of Grace was definitely not for us. As a FINISHER kind of momma, I trudged through those first six weeks like the Little Engine that Could...chanting "I think I can...I think I can...I think I can"...assuming that it would surely get better...that I'd figure it out...that I'd eventually find a rhythm to it all. But, the hurdles were just too big and the rhythm never came. And so, I did the only sane thing I could think of: I boxed up the curriculum guide, re-shelved what books I could salvage, and created a PLAN B. Before I dive into the nitty-gritty tell-all of what I DID and DID NOT like about Tapestry of Grace, let me first interject by saying four simple facts. I am an eclectic homeschooler. I have never before used an all-in-one curriculum like TOG for multiple subjects. I have only ever used a living literature approach when teaching history in our homeschool. Because we had previously studied Ancient Egypt and Greece, I chose to start TOG in Year 1, Unit 4, Ancient Rome. It is naturally more difficult to come into a curriculum midstream than to begin at the beginning. I think this is a really good program. Truly. It's just not good for me and my kids...at least for right now. Tapestry of Grace Pros Multi-level Learning With an eight-year learning span between my oldest child and my youngest one, the multi-level learning schedule of TOG was what initially captured my attention. The plans are laid out in such a way that a high school student and a first grader can each be working through history at a similar speed chronologically but at their own academic level. Designed with a Classical approach, TOG divides learning into four major learning levels (lower grammar, upper grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric) and follows a four-year cycle meaning that a child will study through the entire timeline of history four times before graduating from high school. Socratic method of teaching True to its Classical nature, TOG follows the Socratic method of learning where students are stimulated towards critical thinking...answering a question with another question and scrutinizing belief systems. All-in-one design for unit-study learning I can see where a "package deal" curriculum that supplies not only the obvious history component but also writing, vocabulary, church history, geography, literature, and art would be appealing to many homeschool mommas. That is most certainly an efficient way to plan a year and would greatly benefit the larger-than-average family who seeks to fit in all the extras. Quality book selection While I have packed the curriculum guide away, I have kept out several of the spine books for reference and have designated others to be used during our morning "circle time" next year. To be honest, many of the books are more textbook in nature than we are used to for history, but even spines have their place in a living literature approach. You will find no twaddle among the titles. They are all superior books worth adding to your collection, no matter what curriculum you use. Multi-sensory learning As a momma who wholeheartedly subscribes to the project-based learning method, I loved all of the project suggestions included in the weekly lesson plans. Project ideas were never lacking and could be woven into the day quite naturally. Tapestry of Grace Cons Confusing curriculum guide I'm gonna don my "honest but very blunt" hat for a second and just call a spade a spade. As a former classroom teacher and an eclectic homeschooling momma who has used more-than-her-share of different curriculums over the last 15 years of teaching-in-some-form-or-another, the Tapestry of Grace curriculum guide is the most user un-friendly manual I think I have ever come across. Ouch...that was painful to write and I'm sure painful to read. But there...I've said it. I consider myself pretty curriculum savvy. But even after pouring over the weekly plans for what seemed like hours each week, I felt overwhelmed. There are just so.many.words in the guide. Each weekly lesson plan is about fifty pages long. I wish I were exaggerating here. Sadly, I am not. Granted, each lesson must meet the needs of all four levels of learners. But, holy-information-overload, Batman! I think I sat in a word coma many nights trying desperately to weed through all the words. ME! A self-proclaimed "I heart words" girl! I realize that every new curriculum brings about a learning curve. But, even after six weeks, I still felt so clueless. Too many good choices At the risk of going against all my firmly-held eclectic learning beliefs, I think that the number of activity choices provided each week was paralyzing. In an effort to provide an a la carte style schedule, the curriculum suggests a plethora of activities for you to choose from each week. It is up to you to select the ones that will work with the time that you have and be OK with passing up all the rest. Since I tend to chase after all-things-shiny, I had a really hard time "passing up all the rest". I could never seem to decide which activity was best because they were all so good. In this case, sometimes less is more. Having a selection of two or three good things to choose from is perfect for my personality type. Having a selection of fifteen good things to weed through? Why that's just asking for spazz-momma to suddenly rear her ugly head...every.single.day.for.six.whole.weeks! Not in line with our schedule We are eclectic homeschoolers in every sense of the word. I like the luxury of tailoring all of our learning to our current needs, passions, and educational ideologies. I like rabbit trails. I like slow, deliberate learning. I like exhausting a topic and not feeling rushed to skip to the next one. Tapestry of Grace was just too scheduled for my liking. Up until this year, we were used to carving out two days a week to devote to history. We would wander through time periods at our own pace and devote ample time to really unpacking the small pieces and parts of an era. With TOG, I had to make the choice of either spending two full days almost exclusively learning history OR spreading out all the reading over a four or five-day span. There was just so much to do and not enough time to do it all. Everything seemed rushed and time-consuming. Prior to TOG, we had devoted two entire school years to traveling through Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece. I was saddened with the notion of barreling through Ancient Rome in eight weeks. Eight weeks! An entire era of history in only eight weeks! Not in line with my methods As I mentioned, many of the book suggestions, especially for the lower grammar stage, are not living literature in nature and are more spine-like. I would also argue that the books are not always aptly leveled for reading skill. My sixth grader is an exceptional and avid reader, but many of the books listed for the upper grammar stage were unnecessarily difficult and lengthy. They were ALL wonderful books, but ones which I think would be better suited for dialectic-stage students. Perhaps due to the lack of TRUE living literature suggestions, much of the actual teaching comes from encyclopedia inserts in the teacher's guide. I was supposed to read pages of background information each week and then regurgitate it all to my children in lecture format. I think?...I'm still very confused about all of that. In addition, so many of the components of each unit rely heavily on memorization skills rather than TRUE learning. Both the vocabulary and geography elements seemed forced and disjointed and definitely went against my philosophy of real-world learning which gives a piece of information relevance and value. Not in line with eclectic homeschooling Since I already had a grammar and writing curriculum that I preferred, a method for teaching REAL vocabulary words, elements of church history in our morning "circle time", art project plans, and children who love reading a variety of different genres of literature, seventy-five percent of the TOG curriculum was wasted in our eclectic homeschool. After the first week or so, we ended up doing only the reading elements and scrapping all the rest. It is just not very economically efficient for me to spend a hefty sum on an all-in-one curriculum if I only ever intend on using twenty-five percent of the material. One final word Tapestry of Grace, like all other curriculums, will be loved by some and hated by others. That's just the nature of opinions...they are as individual as the individuals giving them. What works for one person isn't going to necessarily work for another. The elements I didn't like about Tapestry of Grace and which caused me to opt for PLAN B might be the very elements which would work perfectly for you and your homeschool. I, personally, have three dear friends who all use TOG and love it. It works wonderfully for their households and personality types. Their kids are thriving and learning much! Mine were not. I still believe the program to be GREAT. It just wasn't great for us in this season. I have decided to hang onto the curriculum guide as it just might prove to be perfect for the high school years.

Before starting these life-sized artworks, we read I Ain't Gonna Paint No More by Karen Beaumont and illustrated by David Catrow. In the book, a little boy, who is told by his mother to stop painting the insides of the house, covers himself in paint; from head to toe. The kids love the story and then have an absolute blast tracing each other on kraft roll paper. We used crayola Slick Stix to draw patterns all over the sillhouettes and then used Biggie Cakes to paint the patterns. We had to get creative with our classroom space, but most of the kids really enjoyed working on the floor!
