Journals & books we will use for my son’s 9th grade year as a college-bound Fun-Schooler

📚 Here’s a peek at all the materials my son will be using for his first year of high school!

We school in 3 terms, so not all of these are year-round.

1️⃣ These are Daily/weekly books he uses 4–5 days a week or at his own pace:


2️⃣ Monday – These will be done 100% independently while I work. We will do an audiobook and nature drawing together-


3️⃣ Tuesday – Half the day is independent work, half with me.

4️⃣ Wednesday – Done with my husband while I work. Half independently, and half with my husband.


5️⃣ Free reads we’ll do together – Mostly audiobooks in the car. These tie into our studies, but he’s not required to narrate — just enjoy.

6️⃣ Independent free reads – Scheduled this year to help with balance. He mixes reading + audiobooks.

So what about the rest of the week?

🔹 Thursday – Screen-free + field trip day. We listen to free reads in the car. He does his daily stack before/after.
🔹 Friday – He helps at a homeschool gym, then spends the afternoon with my in-laws. He finishes any leftover schoolwork there.
🔹 Saturday – Catch-up day for free reads, papers, handicrafts, and special study (TBD).
🔹 Sunday – Screen-free rest day. All schoolwork is due Saturday night.

❌ A few books aren’t pictured!
🧬 Science this year is Biology, with a focus on comparing germ theory vs. terrain theory, natural immunity, and arguments from both sides.
