Classical Conversations Cycle 3 Week 23

All of the following resources (and more) have already been available (organized by subject) on our Cycle 3 Resources Page. There are several resources on our Cycle 3 Subject Resources Pages that span multiple weeks. You will not find memory work verbiage in my links lists or in my documents.

Cycle 3 Reading Plans

For a reading/curriculum plan that overlaps much of the memory work studied during Cycle 3 with an emphasis on America’s foundations of faith along with an integrated study of U.S. history, geography, and fine arts (along with science studies from a Christian worldview), check out our Mission: Lasting Liberty Curriculum Plan. (Although Mission: Lasting Liberty is not directly correlated to the memory work, it includes a more complete study of anatomy, chemistry, and U.S. History.)

For a reading plan/schedule that corresponds more directly with the Classical ConversationsⓇ Foundations Program, visit our Cycle 3 Reading Plans page.

It blesses us in return!

For a simple example of how to use these resources, download our Cycle 3 Second Quarter Sample Activity Plan. {I have not had the time to put something like this together for third or fourth quarter, but you can use this as a guideline.}

We provide this “Link Buffet” as a service to other homeschooling families. This is simply meant to be a reference site to pick and choose what you wish to do!

These resource lists have been updated for the 2020-2021 school year. Please notify us of broken or outdated links, and we’ll get them fixed for you ASAP. If you’d like to add a great resource to this list, feel free to contact me or leave it in the comments!

These resources correlate to both the Foundations Guide 4th Edition and the Foundations Guide 5th Edition.
