Happy Pi Day!

My father has instilled many values in me over the years.  Among them is a love for the date 3/14--maybe, in my case, not because of the mathematical mysteries of the number pi, but because it is a great excuse to eat my favorite food: pie!  So when I realized that this year's Pi Day is especially notable (3/14/15), it became clear that we really needed to celebrate!

So, we had the other Rehoboth math teachers and their families over for an old-fashioned Pi Day nerd party.  Everyone brought a delicious pie and we played the "fishbowl" game (like charades) using math, science, and technology terms.  (It was pretty challenging; YOU try to act out 'irrational number' or 'quadratic formula'!)

Benji is doomed to be a nerd...

We hope that you also enjoy an inspirational--and delicious--Pi(e) Day!

An even more significant celebration took place in our family this week as we welcomed a new nephew, Knox Downey Newman.  Congratulations Andrew and Meghan!  He's an adorable little redhead!  :)  And what fun for Benji to have a new boy cousin to play with!
