International Pi rate Day 9.19.13Technically, Thursday September 19th is International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Coincidentally, we just happen to be studying Circles: finding the circumference and area of circles - which you can not do without using Pi. So, we decided to combine the two events into one celebration of the mathematical symbol Pi. Hopefully, we will all Dress & Talk like Pi - rates on 9.19.13. Check back to see how it went! The Bonus: If you go to Krispy Kreme dressed like a Pirate on 9.19.13, they will give you a FREE box of glazed donuts! Yummmmmm!!!! (see below) |
