Also, here is a link to a collection of You Tube videos that correlate with Core Knowledge - Grade 3. This list was compiled by Kelly Flick, so a huge thanks to Kelly for compiling this for all homeschool families who use Core Knowledge in their homeschooling! There are 33 videos in this compilation. It lists various videos that tie in with music and poetry appreciation for grade 3. A few of the selections might be ones that Kelly has added personally, as I did not see all 33 in the resources list from CK...but these are all perfect tie ins! So thanks again, Kelly!
