Frazz, yes that is the correct term for what she meant. She hopes to prevent story problems for math, and if she is really luck a vocabulary unit lesson as well.
Of course Mrs. Olsen might end up asking you the questions because of the apple treats you brought in, to see if you learned anything from going to the cider mill.
I can’t imagine cider and doughnuts is exclusively a Michigan thing, but the way we grow apples and waistlines around here, you know it’s an intensely Michigan thing. And it is so good.
It’s natural to feel a little bit melancholy about fall, but not when you get cider and doughnuts involved. The leaves are beautiful, and that cool air is refreshing to breathe and somehow makes the sun in a blue sky that much brighter. But the air is still on the cold side, and it portends more cold and worse weather and reminds us that summer is over. All of which is drowned out by happy taste buds. Few things say fall like cider and doughnuts, and I don’t think anything says it more delightfully.
The problem with that strategy is that there are a couple dozen kids in the class who still need the math and vocabulary units, so they’re not going to be skipped because of one “know it all.”
It’s all smug fun to pretend you’re smart, but unfortunately you have to actually do the work to prove it to the rest of the world.

It’s also propaedeutic and heuristic. And the logophiles dance!

Mrs. Olsen is cool. Would like to see how she handled that bit of slickery

She’ll just adjust the lesson to ask about Brussel Sprouts or something.

Open your lid and look again, Kenny. Frazz knows, but he’s surprised that she does.

Apples and cider? That should help the school demonstrate that it’s meeting the requirements of the Common Core teaching standards.
