A Consistent Learning Rhythm

Each grade follows the same year-long structure. Weeks continue from 1–30 so learners can immediately see where they are in the year.

Monday–ThursdayNew concept: Explain → Worked Examples → Guided Practice → Independent Practice.
FridayReview and Mastery Check for that week’s learning.
Targeted ReviewReview pathways return learners to concepts that need more support.
Mastery & CelebrationStrong performance receives positive feedback and ZNChloe celebration.
Lesson identification: Grade–Unit.Week.Day. Example: Lesson 1-2.06.1 = Grade 1, Unit 2, Week 6, Day 1. Weeks run continuously from 1–30.
