Last week was my most favorite week of the entire school year! We celebrated all week, leading up to Pi Day. For those of you that lead sheltered lives, Pi Day is celebrated every year on March 14 at 1:59, because pi = 3.14159.... I wore a different pi day t-shirt every day last week. We did fun activities, learning where pi comes from. I read "Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi" to all of my classes. We had a contest to see who could memorize the most digits of pi. Alex memorized the most in the school with 222 digits. I was so proud!

This weekend, I am traveling to Harrisburg (CTP, Alex and Andy are lucky enough to come along) with two of my students for the MATHCOUNTS state competition. They will compete against other talented math students from PA in three levels of competition. How exciting! Tomorrow night and Saturday morning, full of math activities. What could be more fun? Seriously, I'm very excited. I've never had a student qualify for this tournament before, and this year I have two! I really hope they do well. They are good kids, and both of them are great math students! Hopefully in a year or two, Alex will make it to states!
In regards to our girl's night out next weekend...Princess, when you and I mentioned the 28th, I completely forgot that this was the same day as Chief Master's tournament. Theoretically that shouldn't be a problem. Those of us actually attending (and competing...hint, hint, hint) should be done by about 4 or so. Could we shoot for a late dinner? Say, 8 or so? What do you all think?
