We had a fun-filled Pi Day celebration!
Students rotated through ten activity centers, completing tasks related to pi. The afternoon's events culminated in a pi recitation competition won by none other than 5th grade's Hugo!
Congratulations to all of my wonderful fifth graders who participated and worked hard to memorize a portion of those infinite digits! Well done everyone!
