condensing 5 days to 4???

Hi there I am doing LHFHG next year for my K and 1st grader. I am going to be using the beyond LA for my oldest and maybe start the emerging reader. They will each be doing their own level math and writing as well as phonics with my K level son (my youngest will just run around and cause strife to the whole plan)
My question is this: We are going to be part of a homeschool co-op that meets on all day Friday. Would it be possible to somehow add in the 5th days worth of work slowly throughout the week for LHFHG with exception to math/writing which we will just do 4 days worth of work and skip Friday's????
Does anyone have any other great plans???
Thanks for any advice
Renee

You could try to do an extra box each day so you would complete the week on the fourth day. Or, you could just do days 1 and 2 on the first day, then 3, 4 , 5 on days 2, 3, and 4, KWIM? I think it would be fairly easy to do; your other four days would just take slightly longer than they would if you did the work within five days.

I just put what we're planning to do in this thread...(in case you hadn't noticed it.) Here it is...http://www.heartofdakota.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=1149

I'm trying to see how that would work....the boxes on the history side all "go together" so I'm not sure that spreading them out would work very well...

You would have to do 2 days worth on one day to keep it to one week per unit.
I just do one day at a time. It has taken me longer than 34 weeks, but I'm ok with that....you may not be.
