Avi was in town all week for a big doctor conference. Thursday night, there was the big convocation and she was inducted into the society as a fellow!
Avi and I strolled around Newbury St and found the Boston Olive Oil Co. These flavors are a bit....odd....
The Fun:
I am just loving how well my kids have taken to math centers. They're mastering their times tables, I hear "yay math!" and "do we have to stop?" daily. The goal next year is to mainly teach math through centers and a workshop style framework. We decided to not even order math workbooks for my class - so excited for that! I mean, look at this, this is a picture of engagement and fun, I mean learning!

those flavours are really odd... so wonderful when children are excited about learning!
Love those sweet kids!!
Wow - that's great about the math centers!
love seeing kids have fun and do well in math! Yes, I know the Lupine Lady story. I used to read it to my children all the time. You should check out Roxaboxen by the same author. We have wild daffodils that were planted by a townsmember's grandfather back in the 70s that grow like the lupines!
Super congratulations to your sister. I'm not even sure what you would use some of those oils for - but then I am not a big user of oil in general. (hence the lack of imagination). Math was / is such a hurdle for me - anything that would make it clearer and more enjoyable gets a resounding thumbs up from me.
WOW how great for your sister - very exciting!!!!!!!!! I always love seeing all the fun you have each week
It's so great how you've instilled a love of math and learning to your kids. Kudos to your sis! Wow!!! I've been to a vinegar/oil tasting store before. Did you do any tasting? Those first 2 do sound odd but the coconut one sounds like it could be good?
Yes, mathematics can be the funniest stuff to learn!
Love the flavors and keep the kiddos on math. The more they learn it now the better they will be later (I know this because I am teaching math to high schoolers who never learned the basics).
where can i find more info on teaching math through centers? my girls HATE math and I need to mix it up for them.
very odd flavors indeed...
Ah yes, I know some of them sound really odd, but I've tried a few that did and they were really delicious! Of course I like anything that has spice and pumpkin, and cinnamon the list is endless for me! Great good random fun here as always!
Super set! "Yay math" is awesome.
I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it again - your teaching creativity and investment is truly inspiring! And why oh why has this world become about 'flavoring' everything?? It's one of those things I just don't get!!
Congrats to your sister! Have a brother that is an M.D. so I know about these big conferences:) I love how spacious your class room is!
SO lucky for you that the children love the math centers...makes teaching that much more enjoyable!
Congrats to Avi on the induction to fellow...pretty impressive. My grandson also loves math, goes to Mathnasium.
Yay you for bringing joy into learning math --or any other subject, for that matter!
Congrats to Avi! What an accomplishment! I love you math idea for next year. I think it sounds perfect!
So when are you going to use the pumpkin spice olive oil? Centers have been around the homeschooling world for a while now. I think it is a great idea but lack of space prevents me from utilizing it here. We repurposed the living room of our open dining/living room area to store our school books and put desks for writing surfaces etc...
Congrats to Avi and to the kids too.
So great for your sister and wonderful you could be there. Love that picture of your classroom with the kids working hard. I've seen a lot of weird vinegar flavors in may day too. One of my favorites is mandarin orange.
Those are odd flavors. You must certainly be doing something right if they are having that much fun at math!
Yay for math! Love it! My 3rd grader is learning his multiplication facts. I don't think he is having nearly as much fun as your kids are though. :) And my 6th grader has math that is beyond my comprehension. :) His too, unfortunately.
As odd as those vinegars sound, because they do, I'd still be curious enough to try them. Especially the pumpkin spice and espresso!
