Happy Pi Day!

For those of you who are not super dorks today is Pi Day! What is Pi Day? Well, hopefully you all know what Pi is, you know, that mathematical symbol you use when calculating things that do with circles.....it is equal to 22/7 or 3.1415926 etc etc etc.... well today is March 14th, or 3/14 .....yeah, i know, super dorky. Anyways, we planned a big Pi Day thing today at the PAC program. We brought boatloads of pies (surprise surprise) and beads to make pi necklaces with the girls and there was going to be a pi relay race for the boys among lots of other pi related activities all ending with us all eating lots of pie (cherry, apple, pecan, pumpkin, key lime, turtle, mango key lime and a few others). And we bought Pi shirts....theyre cute and i love them. But, when we got to FIU this am we discovered there had been a problem with the buses and only 7 of our 70 students were actually here......so we are left with lots of food and no students. we are postponing the pi day festivities until monday.

Here are 2 fun Pi Day Song we all know and love....

Happy Pi Day

Happy Pi day to you,
Happy Pi day to you,
Happy Pi day everybody,
Happy Pi day to you.

(to the tune of "Happy Birthday")

Oh Number PI

Oh, number Pi
Oh, number Pi
Your digits are unending,
Oh, number Pi
Oh, number Pi
No pattern are you sending.
You're three point one four one five nine,
And even more if we had time,
Oh, number Pi
Oh, number Pi
For circle lengths unbending.

Oh, number Pi
Oh, number Pi
You are a number very sweet,
Oh, number Pi
Oh, number Pi
Your uses are so very neat.
There's 2 Pi r and Pi r squared,
A half a circle and you're there,
Oh, number Pi
Oh, number Pi
We know that Pi's a tasty treat.

(to the tune of "Oh Christmas Tree")
