Lesson Schedule

There are only 28 lessons plus an Easter and Christmas Lesson. This leaves plenty of time for review and repitition. There is no reason to just simply go straight through the lesson manual.  Either there should be reviews, or more than one week spent on one lesson, or you could do one week where you give a general over view of the next couple lessons. Which ever way seams approprite for the set of lessons. Many of the lessons can be grouped together in themes. any way you do it, the lesson should be thought out and prepared and planned long before showing up at church. No one would dare get up and teach gospel doctrine simply by showing up to class and opening the book. These lessons need to be well done and prepared so that you can keep the children's attention and build in them a love for the gospel.  On sugardoodle someone has provided their entire year's schedule for teaching, with reviews  scheduled in, and with general conference and stake conference. . . they also have the activities and songs and such preplanned. 
Here is a sample of their lesson schedule. I haven't included the activty section  simply because I think I would do better to prepare weekly the individual lessons. I will have to create my own schedule because I am almost finished with this year and my stake conference is at different times.   But the point is, they are looking at the long term goal
