The Weekly Lesson Plans divide the curriculum into 36 week-long segments. Since the 3 Year Curriculum is set up to be studied 3 times a week, it is up to you to decide how each week will look. Planning this will depend on your schedule and your child's attention span. Remember that the activities in the lesson plan should be spaced throughout the day. The Daily Schedule Example will show you one way to spread the learning out.
Below are ideas of how to divide the ABCJLM curriculum to fit a five-day week. The first example is a categorical breakdown with the second idea using the Week 1 Lesson Plan as an example. Also included is a blank template for you to use. Don't be afraid to tweak these ideas to work in your home!
