Free Homeschool Printables & Planners

Donna Young, a former homeschooling mom, has created just about every homeschool form you could possibly need. All of the forms are free, from transcript to homeschool diploma, from attendance records to science lab reports and much more .  

Here's how I use the free homeschool forms:  I download the calendar, planner, or other forms I need and keep them in a folder on my computer.  When I need to use a form, I print it off. 

The site has so much to offer that it is overwhelming at first, so I'll get you started by pointing the way to a few of my favorite forms:

• Weekly Lesson Planners
• Blank Monthly Calendars
• Grades Forms (choose to grade by percentage or by whole numbers)
• Attendance Records
• High School Transcripts
• Diplomas

There are also different papers available through the DonnaYoung.org site:

• Handwriting Paper
• Math clocks, charts, money, etc.
• Science Lab Reports

There is a lot more at the DonnaYoung.org site, so check it out!   

Here's an idea I learned from an online article at another site:  If you print off something - or find something useful - click on one of the sidebar ads on your way out as a 'tip' for all the work she's doing.  It's a nice way to help out and say "thanks!"

Free Charlotte Mason Physical Education eBook

The Swedish Drill Teacher by M.H. Spalding is a classic book from 1910 that describes how to do the Swedish Drill exercises that Charlotte Mason recommended as part of the physical education program for her students. 

The 88-page ebook takes you through the various positions and movements of Swedish Drill.  It includes diagrams and photographs.

 The site has so much to offer that it is overwhelming at first, so I'll get you started by pointing the way to a few of my favorite forms:
