In addition to the specific resources for this week, we are also listening to Story of the World (SOTW) on CD, watching selected episodes of Drive Thru History, and keeping a cummulative timeline of things we learn in history. I am planning appropriate activities for Mia that are a little less complicated than last year and giving PJ freedom to research the topics on his own and come up with a way to show me he’s learned something. We do all of our memory work to song. If CC doesn’t provide a tune, we find one on CC Connected (well worth the subscription in my opinion).

I just came across your website after going through Cycle 3 and Cycle 1 these past two years. I had a not-so-good experience my first year. This year was much better but still looking to be better prepared. How did I miss this?? You have some great information for the CC community. I was wondering if you have any information for cycle 2 yet or do you plan weekly? I would love to see how you plan for your year. Any suggestions?
Donna,
As a family entering our third year at CC, I can say we’re still honing our schedule and planning. Of course, we also added 3 more kids this year! I’m planning on posting my thoughts and best intentions for Cycle 2 soon so stay tuned!
