Fun-Schooling core journals cover eight to 20+ subjects in one. Subjects include the standard school subjects as well as unique subjects like nature study, classical literature, music, and more. Single-subject journals give students a chance to go more in-depth into a subject of their interest.
Peeking!
How do I see inside Journals?
Almost all our journals have flip-through videos on Amazon. They also are on YouTube, search the title of the journal + The Thinking Tree. We also have flip through videos on our Facebook group- you can find them here.
The easiest way to browse our materials is through our website- https://www.funschooling.com/
Click a journal to go to the Amazon listing. The videos are about halfway down, people often overlook them because they look like ads.
This should get you off to a good start! Click here for Part 2!
