Classical Conversations Cycle 3 Week 23 : Half a Hundred Acre Wood

I receive commissions for purchases made through links in this post. Please see our full disclosure policy for more details. Thank you for supporting Half-a-Hundred Acre Wood through your purchases.

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.

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!

During the school year, we only know about broken links if we are notified by our readers, so please notify us of broken or outdated links, and we’ll get them fixed for you ASAP.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.

Recommended Books
. . . If You Were There When They Signed the Constitution. These books offer a question-and-answer format that often helps children (and adults) to learn key facts about events in an engaging way. This is good to read during Week 5 and/or Weeks 23 and 24.
Shh! We’re Writing the Constitution. For older elementary students – an informative and readable account of the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Includes the text of the U.S. Constitution.
We the People: The Story of Our Constitution. Lynn Cheney has written so many great books. This is no exception!
