Welcome to our resource list for CC Cycle 3 Weeks 13-24! All of these resources (and more) can be found by subject on our Cycle 3 Resources Page. There are several resources on our Cycle 3 Subject Resources Pages that span multiple weeks. Don’t forget to check them out (especially math, science, and history!). If you come across any broken links, please let me know, and if you have a special resource you’d like to share for any of these topics, feel free to provide a link to it in the comments.
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.
As you can imagine, there is a tremendous time investment involved in creating this page. Please do not copy and paste the following 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 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 Please notify us of broken or outdated links, and we’ll get them fixed for you ASAP.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.

Thank you for the opportunity to win a complete set of MegaVerses scripture songs. And thank you for all the great resources you provide on your website for those of us using Classical Conversations to educate our children.
I just started homeschooling our Kindergartener this year. Next year, I intend to use The Well-Trained Mind as the basis for our curriculum. I haven't researched Classical Conversations enough to understand all the cycles yet, but I've bookmarked a number of your posts to use next year, or a few years from now….. I am such a history geek and so excited to be working on a history based curriculum that I am planning for next year now. Thank you for all the effort you put into collecting all these resources and sharing them.
I referred to this page so much during the year! Thank you for all your time spent 🙂
Thank you so much, Michelle, for letting me know that you used it! It really does help me gauge what is helpful on my website!
