| Becky covered for another teacher who had to leave school early this week. The teacher moved into a new classroom this year, occupying a space that was previously the classroom of Mr. Rogan, a teacher who retired two years ago. The new teacher has redecorated the space, but left the painting of a tiger that Helen painted for a book report with Mr. Rogan. Becky was happy to see this reminder of Helen still hanging. |

| Gibson helped Becky try out a new brownie recipe for her Construction Math classes. In two weeks she will be teaching dimensional analysis: the process to convert units. Her plan is to rewrite a recipe using wacky units instead of teaspoons and tablespoons. Becky's Construction Math classes are twice as big as her Math in Society class which used a regular kitchen to bake brownies. We've heard of making brownies in a mug, but we have never tried it for ourselves. The process is ridiculously simple. We mixed all of the ingredients in a mug and then microwaved the mug for 1 minute. |

| Gibson followed the instructions exactly and made a brownie in a ceramic mug. Becky made hers in a paper cup like her students would use. Gib's tasted delicious. Becky's brownie had good texture, but tasted terrible. She forgot to add the sugar! Besides that mistake, our experiment was a success and Becky is confident her students can make the brownies in her classroom (with lots of paper towels and wipes on hand for spills). |
