These resources should correlate with both 4th and 5th Edition of the Foundations Guide. If you find any discrepancies, please hop down to the comments to let us know!
All of the following resources (and more) have already been available (organized by subject) on our Cycle 2 Resources Page. There are several resources on our Cycle 2 Subject Resources Pages that span multiple weeks. Don’t forget to check them out (especially math, science, and history!).
For a reading/curriculum plan that overlaps much of the memory work studied during Cycle 2 – with an integrated study of church history, world history/geography, science, and fine arts, check out our Mission: Faith Forgers Curriculum Plan. Our open-and-go, Christian Classical Curriculum integrates the study of the world and the ongoing fulfillment of the Great Commission, with a focus on loving God, His Word, and fellow mankind.
Note: Although Mission: Faith Forgers is not directly correlated to the memory work, it includes a more complete study of astronomy, physical science, and history. The books selected for this reading plan were chosen as long-term resources for students to use when they embark on research and world geography memorization in grades 7+. This study has been designed to be used independently of Classical Conversations®. For families who use Classical Conversations®, the readings assigned in the Mission: Faith Forgers study overlaps much of the memory work studied during Cycle 2 but is not correlated week by week. This provides an opportunity for ongoing review and integration of the memory work throughout the year.
You will not find memory work verbiage in my links lists or in my documents. Please do not copy and paste these links into other emails, documents, or websites. If you would like to share these links with others, please send them a link to this webpage. By honoring this request, you ensure that our family’s efforts to provide free homeschool resources can continue. Thank you for using and recommending Half-a-Hundred Acre Wood to others. It blesses us in return!
For a simple plan on how to use these resources, download our Cycle 3 First Quarter Sample Activity Plan. (I haven’t written one of these for Cycle 2, but it’s the same general idea…)
