Falling behind...

One of the biggest disadvantages to a boxed curriculum is missing school days & then feeling that you have fallen behind. BJUP is set up as a Monday-Friday curriculum. We've missed several days & by now our Friday has fallen on Thursday. Which means we are starting a whole new theme on Friday. And...you can't really cram 2 phonics lessons in to one day, because the daily practice is critical to getting good results. There are certain lessons, though, that can be put together: Thursday & Friday's phonics lessons can be made in to one lesson. In Math, the cumulative review days can easily be added in with another day. I've found that we really have the concept down by the time we've reached cumulative review and don't need the extra hands-on practice. So we skip right to the workbook page. If we do a few Saturday lessons and combine the easy lessons, then we should have our Friday lessons back on Friday.
