There we were, solving for the area and circumference of circles, and Maza's computer pops this up on the screen!
Is that funny, or what!?!?

Have some more pi!
Pi Day + 5 = 3.14 + 5= 8.14!We had to celebrate the rest of Pi Day this week, because we got snowed out last week!
Here is our Pi Day Art, which we created using the radii and diameters of circles that used consecutive digits of pi. We learned how to use a compass to create circles with a given radius. Using a compass turned out to be harder than it looks!

Pi Day Puzzle! Give it a try!
Our Geometry 4Life Success students tackled this one to start our class today. We celebrated Pi Day with problem-solving, videos (here, here, and here, if you wish to see them too) and an art project featuring, yes, you guessed it: Pi and circles!

We're focusing on our PBLOs!
Do you know the six PBLOs?
We are studying them in our English classes.
We need to memorize all six:
1. Creative Thinker
2. Balanced Individual
3. Self-Directed Achiever
4. Effective Communicator
5. Global Citizen
6. Enlightened Representative
These are part of our ten "Workplace Expectations" this semester.
Each week, for six weeks, we are using a game called "Quizizz" to learn the PBLOs and to understand what they mean. We also discuss them, take notes in our Handbook for Adulthood, and write down ways that we are living them right now.
Would you like to try our PBLO game for this coming week? You can!! It's free and it will challenge you! We are entering our fourth week of our PBLO contests, so this quizzes you on 4 PBLOs!
Go to: https://join.quizizz.com
Enter the game code: 471165
Each Friday, we compete as a team to see our team score. Can you beat us? The range of our Team Scores is between 93% and 100%. The average of our Team Scores is 94% across all our classes so far.
