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!) – the first six weeks of Cycle 2 subject resources are here.

The Link Buffet: Extension Activities
Pick and choose what you wish to do! We usually do not do much from this list, but it’s there in case we need an idea!
Does our family use this stuff? We’ve used some of it (like multiplication drills sheets, constellation fun, or on-line geography games). But our family spends more time reading and working on core skills during the elementary-school years and keeps our schedule open for playing board games together, or 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.
Please notify me of broken or inoperable links, and I’ll be glad to fix them! If you’d like to add a great resource to this list, feel free to contact me or leave it in the comments! Also note that there may be affiliate links in this post. Clicking on these links before you make your Amazon purchases does not cost you anything extra, but we receive a small commission from your Amazon purchase. If you use our affiliate links, we really appreciate it because… it not only supports the cost of this website and helps to support our family, but it also keeps the CC resource lists we provide on this website free. Thanks so much for supporting Half-a-Hundred Acre Wood!
