Pi Day fun!
Written on March 21, 2007 – 1:56 am | by Ed Warkentin
This last week was “Pi Week” at my school.
We made a big deal of this, for several reasons, one of which was that we teach geometry, including the circumference and area of a circle, which is where the marvelous number pi shows up!
On Wednesday, Pi day, we had an Albert Einstein look-alike contest. I was crazy and brave enough to really go all out for this one.
We also sang a song together about Pi. I got the idea from this website. We were also amused, but a little freaked out by, this song:
At exactly 3/14, 1:59 and 26 seconds, my students made as much racket as possible! I had brought in my congas, mini-djembes, tambourine, etc., etc. Some of my students had brought in their band instruments like trumpets, etc. I gave my neighbor-teacher fair warning about the inevitable disruption this noise would cause! 
She decided to have her students join in the joviality.
When I wasn’t Albert Einstein, I wore this shirt a couple of days.
To my surprise, my colleagues didn’t just think it was cool or nerdy… They were all jealous! They wished I would have told them how to buy one for themselves long enough ago so we could all wear them together! How cool is THAT?!
One of my colleagues did have one. Here’s a couple of pictures of us wearing them.
