Before and after

A few weeks ago Nathan and I stayed with my parents while my landlords re-did my kitchen. Now these pictures are before I put anything away so I'll have to post those later, but right now I'm doing taxes and therefore my counter is all sorts of a mess. But even still, you can probably tell that the change is fabulous and I am so excited for the added space I have!! I love love love it! (Meanwhile, I'm not loving having to owe taxes this year. Who decided this? Being not as poor is worse than being totally poor...people expect stuff from you.)

Happy Pi Day

Pi Day is Sunday (get it? 3.14) and since we don't have school on Sunday, my classes celbrated pi day today. We of course ate pie and we watched some great pi day music videos. And I'm such a mean teacher that I made them find the area of each pie and make a pie chart of the types of pie before they could eat any pie. My Geometry class has been working on a circle project this week and they presented them. They looked awesome! I'll have to take some pictures to post because I am just so impressed with their work! It was such a fun day and hopefully some of my students are more willing to embrace their nerdiness! As a bonus, go to youtube and check out these two songs: American Pi and Lose Yourself In the Digits.
