L.E.R.U: Pi Day Edition (3/14)

• MCA Coming Up! 


All Little Elkians (4th and 5th years) will be taking the MCA Reading test this coming Monday - Tuesday, March 18 and 19. The test begins promptly at 8:45. Please ensure that your child gets a good night's rest, eats a good breakfast and arrives on time. Thank you for your support!


The dates for the MCA Math test are Monday, April 22 - Tuesday, April 23.


• Pi Day Synopsis


The amount of joy we had today talking and learning about the relationship of a circle's diameter to its circumference can hardly be quantified—at least not with a rational number. Where do I begin?


Greta led a group of Little Elk carolers who graced about half of the elementary classrooms with a rendition of  "O, Number Pi" to the tune of "O, Tannenbaum." They were received with applause and smiles. Great idea, Greta! 


Unofficial results from today's Pi recitation  :)

  1. Oliver (50)
  2. Scarlett and Audra (26)
  3. Emmett (20)

Today's edible pies were contributed by Kenzi (Shepard's Pie), Ollie (Pumpkin), Hugh (Pumpkin), Colton (Arctic Orange), Miles (French Silk), Leo (French Silk), Audra (Strawberry Rhubarb), Emmett (Peach) and Henry Peter (Cherry). They were all delicious, and most of them were homemade. We indulged ourselves to the brim, and a good portion of elementary staff as well. Yum!  And thank you!
