We started with a little technology time, choosing, resizing and compressing the file size on our bio pictures for the blog.
Consumer Math found us sharing answers to the following questions from last week’s homework:
A Nutrition lecture (DVD series from The Great Courses) followed, and we were delighted to learn about our often-under-appreciated digestive tract. Dumping Syndrome and Constipation were highlights of the topic. Oh, my. Lunch followed (naturally!).
After lunch we covered Geography sharing our findings about definitions for Geography and Economics, sharing cool facts about Physical Geography and Climate, and sharing a custom from another country.
The bulk of our time this week was spent on our personal fitness evaluations. Each of us (moms, too) shared personal fitness and nutrition goals for the coming year, and we completed a comprehensive fitness evaluation (from the DVD lecture materials we’re using from The Great Courses). Cardio test on the step in the back yard, push-ups and sit-ups, flexibility test, skin calipers to measure percentage of body fat….OY! We charted our results to form a base line. Let’s see how much we can all improve our wellness over this school year!
Okay, y’all:
What part of the Fitness Evaluation was the most challenging to you?
What part of Co-op did you most enjoy this week?
