Eight printables that work together — weekly planner, curriculum tracker, attendance log, binder covers, subject labels, supply list, year at a glance, and a lesson plan template. All PDF, all undated, all designed for the actual rhythm of a homeschool year.
A simple Monday-to-Friday grid with subject rows. Fill in lessons by subject and day, leave the date blank if you school on a flexible schedule. Print as many copies as you need.
Track what you're actually covering across the year. 28 rows mapped to weeks of school, with columns for the topic, the resource you used, and a checkbox to mark it complete.
A 31-day attendance log with status codes, hours per day, and a notes column. Simple enough to use daily, formal enough to satisfy state reporting where required.
A 10-subject binder cover pack. One PDF, one page per subject, designed to slip into a standard 3-ring binder spine pocket or be hole-punched as the first page.
A sheet of 30 binder labels covering 12 homeschool subjects. Designed to fit Avery 5160 label sheets (1" × 2-5/8"), or print on plain paper and cut.
A starter supply checklist for K-5 homeschool. Six categories cover everything from pencils and notebooks to math manipulatives and reading materials.
One landscape page covering 12 months, with rows for unit themes, holidays, field trips, and milestones. The high-altitude view of your homeschool year.
A landscape weekly grid with six subject blocks (Math, Reading, Writing, Science / History, Art / Music, Other) across Monday through Friday, plus a Reflections row at the bottom.
The most common pain point in homeschool forums isn't finding curriculum — it's the avalanche of paper. Worksheets, lesson plans, attendance logs, supply lists, binder labels. Most parents want one coherent system, not eight different paid templates from eight different sellers.
This is one coherent system. The eight pieces share a layout language, work together at different time-scales (year → semester → week → day), and are all free.
Start with the Year at a Glance in the summer to map out unit themes, holidays, and field trips. Use the Curriculum Tracker to record what you actually cover week by week. Use the Weekly Planner or the more detailed Lesson Plan Template for the day-to-day. Log attendance with the monthly sheet.
The binder covers, subject labels, and supply checklist are the setup layer — print them once at the start of the year and you're done.
Most printable planners on the market are repurposed teacher planners. They assume 5-day weeks, 30 students, bell schedules, and standardized testing windows. This kit assumes one to four students, flexible weeks, frequent field trips, and the actual messiness of homeschool life.
The subject mix on the binder covers and labels covers homeschool-specific categories — Geography as its own subject (most school planners bundle it under social studies), Life Skills as a real category, Foreign Language at the K-5 level. The attendance sheet has a Field Trip status code because field trips are school in homeschool, not an exception.
The planner is the system. Use it with our standards-aligned content for the actual lessons.
