Happy Pi Day

For those of you who aren't nerds, geeks, or number freaks, March 14th was an unofficial holiday celebrating the number Pi (π). Pi is an endless number starting with 3.14159.... and used to solve math problems involving circles. Since March 14th is abbreviated 3/14, it was dubbed "Pi Day." Happy Pi Day!! I was not aware that this was a holiday until I showed up to teach math yesterday and was berated for not bringing circular goodies to class with me. Apparently I flunked at both nerdiness and cool teacherness.

In other news, this is my mom's response to the Pokemon car photos I put up last week:

Mom found this car in Arizona. This beats the Pokemon car.

I had a busy week this week with teaching, because it was the final week of the term for my college Math class. I have grades to do next week, but other than that I'll get to take a little breather for a couple of weeks. I also got called in twice this week for substitute teaching. I taught Special Ed, Band, and Art. I learned that I am NOT cut out to be a Special Education teacher. I do not have the patience to wait for the kids to behave or the lung power to Make the kids behave. I also reaffirmed my lack of musical ability in band. The students were lucky - I didn't demonstrate any instruments. I just sat back and enjoyed the free concert. Art was my best subject of the week. I just sat back and colored along with the students. Here is my project of the day:

The assignment was to draw a school bus. Oops.

I have also learned through substitute teaching that I do not speak either Chinese or Japanese. Not that this fact discouraged any of the students from speaking to me in these languages. They were probably calling me names. Now you know what languages to use if you want to call me names.
