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
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! 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.
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the school year, we only know about broken links if we are notified by our readers, so please notify us of broken or outdated links, and we’ll get them fixed for you ASAP. Thank you! 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!
These resources correlate with both the Foundations Guide 4th Edition and Foundations Guide 5th Edition.
