Ninth Grade Homeschool Bookstack
Ninth Grade, our first year of Homeschooling High School, is upon us. My twins have been homeschooling since fourth grade and I’m excited (and nervous) that they want to continue into high school.
Below is our collection of books that we are using to Homeschool Ninth Grade. I love getting peeks at how others are teaching and learning, so this is a look at a big part of our homeschool. We are all big readers and finding amazing books to bring topics to life is one of my favorite things.
I have organized the books below into loose subjects. Transcripts require that we divide what we’re learning into courses so those are how I have organized this list. I will add to this list throughout the year as I find more books that we love. Comment below if you have any recommendations!
