  On Saturday afternoon I teamed up with the other tutor and we broke off into groups to review the basics we had gone over Friday evening as well as the "head shoulders knees and toes song that we had learned the previous week" Afterwards we started going over different school subjects to boost that intrinsic motivation to familiarize the kids with subjects that they enjoy. One of them went straight ahead into mentioning 'math' and 'science' and that he liked these two better than 'English' since there wasn't as big of a focus on English in them. The other kids seem to be content to just learn the general subjects so we split off into two groups where I focused on the more advanced 'math and science' learner. I wrote the subjects on two separate pieces of paper and asked him to write or draw me some examples of each. He seemed to be more interested in science so I started to write some branches of science: astronomy, biology, chemistry, anatomy, and Earth science.
