Happy Pi Day!
One local grade school decided to celebrate Pi day on Friday. and while there was some pie to eat, the real celebration was in honor of the numerical Pi, otherwise known as approximately 3.14.
Thanks to math teacher Brian Littrel, students at Oak Grove West grade school got to examine mathematical concepts related to Pi, be creative, and even be a little silly.
Littrel says it’s a way to get kids into learning and out of the classroom and that, So they learn about it ahead of time and then when they come here, they kind of put that to work with all the stations they’re working at. It gives them an idea of things outside the classroom. you can still learn and have a good time at the same time.”
Seventh grader Lauren Legaspi said that,”you can go to the stations and do all the Pi stuff, like list all the numbers in order and stuff. It’s pretty fun.”
One of the main events: a pie eating contest. Student’s chowed down on different flavors of pie for some bragging rights.
To wrap up the day, we heard students even got to smash a pie on the Principal’s face.
