Fridays are fun days at Trilogy school. Instead of language arts and math first thing in the morning, like the rest of the school week, the elementary students have music class (they are learning patriotic and historic American songs this year), which is followed by science in the high school science lab.
One of the other things that makes Fridays special, is that it is pizza day. The rest of the week, the children bring cold lunches from home, but on Fridays we order pizza.
To accompany the pizza, there is also a choice of canned lemonade or non-caffeinated soda. This is the only time during the school week when sweetened drinks are allowed, and the children must earn these drinks. Monday-Thursday, immediately after "circle time", we have 4-minute math. The timed math drills are how the students earn their Friday sodas. Each child has a punch card in their 4-minute math folder. Just for doing the math, they get one hole punched. If their time has improved from the day before, they get 2 hole punches. 10 hole punches earns a soda or lemonade during lunch on Friday.
