My students told me already that I'm a giant nerd, but I don't actually care too much because, as I told my students, this holiday is literally the only exciting thing about being a math teacher, and I am going to live it up.
We had a Pi Day party in my classes on Friday. For this party I thought it would be super cute to make some pi-shaped cookies. I have no idea why I thought that was something that I was capable of doing, because I have never made a sugar cookie by myself. It was a much bigger ordeal than I thought it would be, but by the end of 300+ cookies, I am a pro.

The finished product!
We read a book about pi, watched some video clips about pi, ate pi(e) and pi-shaped cookies, and made a pi chain to decorate the classroom. I also gave some pi party favors (pencils and temporary tattoos). Overall it was an excellent day and the kids loved it (probably mostly because we didn't have to do math that day, but I'm choosing to ignore that part and focus instead on how excited they were about a math party).
