BONUS: The Classical Morning Menu Calendar gives you a learning plan for how to introduce and review all the pieces of your menu each month. Use it as a guide or a jumping off point. Use as much or little as you like. Substitute, switch, or swap activities to your liking! I hope it helps you make the most of this menu! The calendar comes in 5 options: pick the one that best fits when your co-op day meets! If you don't go to a co-op, you can take a day off or repeat an activity, or make up your own activity!
