Well, as a matter of fact, I *have* been doing exactly that.
I spent a lot of time explaining the various uses of append
(good for the Vanity Plate assignment), I went over at least
two different puzzles, and now I'm covering Prolog Grammar
Rules that you need for the Internet Address Parsing assignment.

We will continue with Grammar Rules today, and then cover
one more topic (second-order predicates). Whatever time
is left we'll spend working homework problems.

If you have specific questions about the assignments then
we can of course talk about that in class as well.
