Individual math and writing. We had a good discussion about what the class would like to do

after the holiday break. They decided they want to have science and history as a regular part of

the class structure.

The plan is to have history mini lessons on the Thursdays that Louise teaches and science mini

lessons on the Thursdays Joe teaches. They feel too much time is focused on math and writing

and want a more well rounded class.
