Pi Day 

On Monday March 14^th our class celebrated “Pi Day” (3.14 stands for March 14). We did some measuring and calculating to find out what pi was used for.  Pi is the never ending number used to find the circumference of a circle.  (Diameter x pi = circumference) 

The short way of writing Pi is 3.14 (π is the symbol). Really it has no end. Some student tried to remember as many numbers of Pi as they could. First place went to Colten, who remembered 62 place values. Second went to Lauren with 40 numbers. Third place went to Olivia with 31 numbers.  And fourth place to Tyson with 22 numbers.  Well Done!  And after the challenge we had pie if we wanted. There was apple and blueberry pie and pumpkin pie. After we finished our pie we went for recess. March 14 is also Tysons birthday, and Einstein’s birthday!!!!!!
