Pi Day Songs
We have some wonderful singers in math 7. If you’d like, you can download the lyrics to the pi songs we sung. For people who chose to write a song about pi for homework, I will be recording podcasts of the top 5 songs from math 7, including Mr. MacDonald’s classes. These songs and the lyrics will be posted on the class blog and on my professional blog. If you are interested in having your song considered, please let me know by Wednesday. We already have 2 excellent submissions.
Hooping
For people who are interested in learning how to make a hoop or how to hoop dance, you can find excellent information on my sister’s websites. You’ll recognize the dancer on Ms. Jessie’s sites.
- How to Make a Heavy Hula Hoop – I made the hoops we used today.
- Hoola Hoop and HoopDance Videos*
- Where to Buy Heavy Hula Hoops – Not into the DIY movement, there are people who make dance hoops.
Thanks for bringing in the pies and making it a fun Pi Day.
* Tech Tip: My sister is an excellent speller, and she realizes that some people aren’t. She intentionally uses several common misspellings in her websites for search engine optimization (SEO). If someone misspelled “hula hoop”, then they wouldn’t necessarily find her site, but since she includes both the correct spelling and incorrect spelling more people can find her pages. I’m a bit more particular and like things spelled properly; however, I will use include common misspellings in my tags to help people find my math sites.
