National Pi Day and Forensics

Thursday was a full day as we worked toward our Forensics Tournament at the end of the day and continued to study circles in math. I purposely put the study of circles in March each year just as an excuse for allowing my students to eat pie in class! Students had to figure the circumference of the four pies we had to choose from. They were cherry, dutch apple, banana cream, and pecan. Everyone got to enjoy the pie while drawing their pie and working out their math on the paper. Hopefully now we have concreted in the whole C=(Pi)D and can move onto area next week. It was just the little extra boost of sugar we needed before lunch! :)

Pi Day!

The afternoon was full of finishing touches on congress speeches and getting ready for the tournament. Unfortunately for all of us, one of our fifth grade families had a tragedy during the day and that greatly effected the fifth graders coming to observe. We had a few sixth grade parents through, so it was a positive exercise for the competitors. Thank you to those of you who came out to watch.
