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 or other copyrighted information 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.

The Link Buffet: Extension Activities
While our family has used some of the resources here (e.g., multiplication drills or on-line geography games), our family has spent more time reading and working on core skills during the elementary-school years. We’ve kept our schedule open for playing board games together, researching something that our children are interested in, pursuing poetry, art, or music, or doing science investigations or nature studies. We use our resource lists as resource lists – that is, when we wish to quickly find a resource I’ve come across in the past, we reference this list. I call it the “Link Buffet.” This is simply meant to be a reference site. 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 Please notify us of broken or outdated links, and we’ll get them fixed for you ASAP. Thank you!
