Tell me more about PALS.

PALS classes are held three times per month, for one half or one full day. Morning sessions (Word Wizards) focus on language arts, while afternoons (Number Crunchers) are devoted to science and math. PALS class time centers around affective needs as well as independent studies, technology, research, curricular accommodations and extentions.
