Dear Affiliates,

As we realize how popular these lesson plans are, and how many of you are using them, we are trying to refine and improve them.

From now on, we will include the code number for the Checklists with each lesson plan. For instance, this month, the BEGINNER lesson plans will come from Checklist A1. The INTERMEDIATE lesson plans will come from Checklist C1. These checklists are available in the Affiliate Resources section, or by contacting HQ.

ALSO, we will include the day of the week with each lesson plan, and we will plan lessons to work together with their matching day in the following week. In other words, the plan for Monday, April 2, will work well with the plan for Monday, April 9. The plan for Tuesday, April 3, will flow well with the plan for Tuesday, April 10.

We hope you find these helpful. We welcome any feedback!
