Revising Benny's Preschool

While the basic set up of the letter of the week preparatory program is
working well for us, I have decided to make a few changes. First, I'm
expanding the program from 26 weeks to 32 weeks so that next spring we
won't run out of things to do while Jessie and Violet are still doing a
full schedule. Second, I believe it to be wise to add some review weeks
at various intervals so that Benny isn't overloaded with information and frustrated. Third, I've deleted a few shapes and colors(parallelogram, octagon, tan, and lavender), added in a few of my own instead, and rearranged when each is introduced a bit to cover basic shapes and colors first. Scroll down to see our revised schedule starting with week 5:
