Do you know what we celebrate on March 14th?
You don't?!?!
Well, let me tell you because we actually celebrated it today, since March 14th falls on a Sunday this year.
It is ........Pi Day!
Yes, that would be the number Pi (3.14) that is found in SOOO many places.
The school goes ALL out on this one. The kids have T-shirts to wear.
They play games and do projects. Here is one that Nathan did today. Each bead represents a number and they had to string the number Pi. The elephant represents the big number 3.
Did you know that DNA, rainbows, the human eye, music, color, and ripples all have some natural roots in pi? I didn't until the boys started talking about their Pi day.
Food is in GREAT abundance on this day. Just think of all the pi food that there is. Here are just some of the foods that were brought in: Bagel bites, pepperonis, M&M's, Skittles, Fruit Loops, ....And of course some PIE!
What a fun way to learn about Pi each year!!!

Hello there! I just found your blog and I LOVE it! I'm an English teacher, but I have 2 good friends who are math teachers. They have Pi Day parties every year. What a great idea to celebrate it with your kids! :)
The snake idea is awesome!
