Learning Doesn't End on Friday

Saturday morning:

7:30 - Cooking (i.e., "packing a breakfast-to-go that includes a protein, a fruit, and a carbohydrate")

8:30 - Geography and Basic Economics (i.e.,"using a map to find garage sales and negotiating the price of a must-have book about princesses")

9:30 - More Basic Economics, some Biology, and a smidge of Philosophy (i.e., "buying gluten-free donuts and coffee at our local bakery and discussing the negative effects of caffeine, gluten, and sugar on our bodies...and living with the consequences of our choices")

10:30 - More Geography and some History (i.e., "examining antiques from South Dakota and heirlooms from pre-WWII Japan" -- and findng three vintage Star Wars space ships for $2 a piece!  Guess what my brothers are getting for Christmas...)

11:30 - Mathematics (i.e., "deciding how many kitty figurines we could buy at the thrift store if everything is 50% off")

12:30 - Botany (i.e., "buying produce at the local farmers' market and exploring the last of the summer flowers behind the shop")

1:30 - A well-deserved break
