I can pull groups with them. … So, it’s 15 minutes – is the length – the smallest group of time, and we have – so, a flex block is – sorry, 45 minutes. And, I have three small groups within that at 15 minutes. And kids between – I say my average group is probably like three kids. I’d say my smallest group is two; my biggest group is eight.
