Students in Mrs. Dapper's Advanced Reading and Math students spent the last two days celebrating Pi Day (March 14th). They read math adventure stories and discovered the reason Pi is associated with circles! In the advanced math classes, we also had a contest to see who could say the most digits of Pi by memory. 4th grader, Kamden Bailey recited the most digits overall, with 71, Alaina Tracy (6th) recited 27, and Sam Kin (3rd) recited 43 digits of Pi!
Congrats to all of the winners and to all that participated!
We hope everyone has a great Pi Day on Saturday!
