Pi Day Celebration

5th Grade Mathematicians recently celebrated Pi Day. Pi Day is March 14th ( 3.14) every year....
We celebrated by wearing Pi crowns, cooking and eating apple, chocolate and pizza pie, and of course learning all about how to find the circumference and area of circles. We also found the circumference and area of our heads (pretending, of course that they were perfectly round circles.)

We're proud of Maria for memorizing 27 digits of Pi to win our Pi memorization contest!
If you click this link, you can see some Pi songs written by our 5th graders.

Here are some pictures from our celebration...

Ms. Blair helped us with her cooking expertise and kitchens. We are so grateful to her!
