Note
- We have tried to give the proper number of lessons for sessions, but holidays sometimes interrupt a full teaching week.
- Teachers will ‘count’ the proper number of lessons and instruct their students as necessary.
- Lessons are recorded in teacher roll books and in student assignment notebooks.
