Discovery Students Discover Pi
-- On 3/14 Discovery students went crazy over Pi and Pie. Our community learned all about this irrational number and with a hands on activity they discovered the relationship between any circle's diameter and circumference.
It has been represented by the Greek letter "π" since the mid-18th century, though it is also sometimes written as pi. We learned that the decimal representation, beginning 3.14, never ends and never settles into a permanent pattern. Some of our sixth grade girls even created a song dedicated to Pi Day!

Here are the lyrics to the song:
Pi Day Parody of Friday
