Today our math classes celebrated Pi Day with a mix of reading, creativity, and a little friendly competition!
Students started by reading Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi, learning about the famous mathematical constant in a fun and engaging way. After the story, students put their math skills to the test by building paper chains representing the digits of pi.
Working against the clock, teams raced to see how many digits they could correctly represent in their chain. The competition was tight, and in the end two groups tied for first place, each building an impressive 109-link chain! 👏
Great teamwork, problem-solving, and Pi Day spirit all around. Nice work, mathematicians! 📏🔢

After researching Incan art and crafts, students set to work creating gold medallions. Mind you, these were not made from real gold (our budget prefers air dry clay ). Nonetheless, the crafts created were thoughtful, meaning-packed, and pretty fun to make 🎨.
Before any cutting or coloring began, we talked about symbolism 💭. The Incas didn’t just decorate things because they were bored. Every shape, animal, and pattern meant something.
☀️ Some chose suns for strength.
🦅 Some chose animals for courage.
🎨 One student made a design so detailed Dr. Miller briefly considered commissioning a mural for the hallway.
What impressed teachers the most was the thinking 🧠. Students weren’t just making art, they were explaining it. Defending it. Connecting it to what they learned about Incan culture 🌎. Turns out, when kids know their work has a story behind it, they rise to the occasion (and occasionally cover their desks in gold paint ✨).
Learning was loud today 📣.
Learning was shiny ✨.
Learning had symbols 🔱.
And if the Incas were watching, I think they would have given us a respectful nod… and maybe asked us to vacuum up our mess 🧹😄.

Our 5th grade students celebrated Read Across America Day with a fun mix of literacy and math! After reading The Foot Book by Dr. Seuss, students put their prediction skills to the test.
They estimated the length of their own feet, measured in both inches and centimeters, and then organized their findings by creating a line plot of the class data. 📏📊
What a great way to combine reading, measurement, data analysis, and a little bit of fun! 👟✨
