Since our last co-op meeting, we’ve been doing follow-up on a wide range of topics!
Economics: On the micro-level (personal finance), we learned about different kinds of income….salary, wages, self-employment, & commissions. On the macro-level, we learned about economic systems traditional/barter, free market/capital, and command.
Fitness Physiology and Nutrition made us thirsty — ’cause hydration is what it’s all about! “Is everything Claritin-clear???” (when you visit the bathroom???) Recovery after a workout is important so your muscles can repair themselves. Did you know that you should ideally drink 1/2 – 1 oz. of water for each pound of body weight every day?
Geography focused on Physical Geography, and we learned about the most common types of maps — climate, topographical, political/economic, and road. Homework this week had us researching freak weather: monsoons, cyclones and tornadoes, typhoons, hurricanes, dirt devils and waterspouts.
And today we are all together for a full day of co-op stuff —
Classes, food, lecture dvd’s, activities, more food, money, cooking international food, and watching a Geography movie, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” while we eat spanikopita.
Don’t you wish you were here?
