Welcome to Mrs. Amy Croel-Perrien's website! I have been working in education since 1995. Most recently I taught in a 4th/5th grade public Montessori program for West Ottawa Schools in Holland, Michigan. My experience also includes charter and private Montessori teaching.
I am currently on a leave of absence from WO schools to work on a PhD in Curriculum, Instruction, and Teacher Education at Michigan State University.

Pi Day
Hey Upper Montessori!
What is Pi Day anyway? Take a look, read about it on the Internet, post your ideas here.
Pi day is a holiday commemorating the mathematical constant pi. Pi is on march 14, since 3,1 and 4 are the three most significant digits of pi in the decimal form. in 2009,the united states house of reps. supported the designation of pi day. -maddy
We celebrate pi day on March 14 so we can have a chance to have fun with the topic of math and science. And while it celebrates Pi officially, it also shows how much fun math and science can be!Its also a day to celebrate the creation of the math term pi.
Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th around the world.Pie is a Greek letter and it's value is 3.1415926535... It has over 1 trillion digits! In 1706, William Jones first used the symbol for pi, but was popular in 1737. The 1st 3 digits are 3.14 so that is why its on March 14th. -Raveena 3/13/12
Pi = 3.14159. It is a continuous number that is the relationship between the width of a circle (diameter) and it's edge (circumference). To calculate the area of a circle use the formula pi times r squared (r is the radius which is half of the diameter). -George I.

Pi day is celebrated on March 14 by mathematicians everywhere. Even though it's symbol originated in Greece it was soon popular in Switzerland to.
Pi is more interesting than I thought,it's not just a bunch of numbers!

March fourteenth is called "Pi Day" because the date is 3/14 and pi is:3.14 and trillions more.
If you hold "3.14" up to a mirror, it spells "PIE".
Pi is a math term that sounds like the food pie.
Sorry Mrs. Perrien, but I don't know if anyone will bring in a PIE, but I'll bring in PI to show that 3.14 held to a mirror really does say PIE.

I think it would be fun to celebrate Pi Day by making and eating pie. Everyone can have 3.14 pieces of pie! Yum!--Sarah
