Last week was Spirit Week. It was fun, but probably not too good of an idea to start off with pajama day on Monday. Everyone just wanted to sleep...for the entire day. It's amazing how much these little things can and do affect performance level. There's probably been a psych experiment done on that at some point or another...

Among others: pajama day, cops and robbers, awkward day

I never dressed up for Spirit weeks when I was a student, except for maybe in elementary school. I guess it was time to relive the "good old days."

All this thrilling fun ended in Field Day at the end of the week:

Now for Teacher Appreciation week, Labor Day weekend, visits from old friends, four more weeks with the little guys, and then the end of Year 1 at ECA!

	Spring Break meant reunions with kids and friends down south on the sunny coast. After spending some chilly months in the capital, it was a nice change to enjoy some sunshine. That and the company made for some great times. Fun times were had back home in the wheat fields of Camarma, too... Now back for the last quarter at ECA...

Happy Pi Day! Today, March 14, 3.14, is the official day of Pi. Here at ECA, we spent the day before Spring Break celebrating "my day." Just kidding. I just happen to be blessed with this super cool name. The math teachers and students have been prepping for this special day for the past month. The kids from grades 1-12 made a pi chain of the first 1000 digits of pi that is now stretched across our entire elementary wing, memorized the digits of pi, created pi posters, wrote pi haikus and limericks...and the list continues! It all culminated with a few lucky students getting to throw pies in their teacher's face and a school-wide pi scavenger hunt before gathering to eat PIE of course!

*part of the pi chain*

*The Young Missionary Teacher Association: triumphant forever more - we've survived until March!*

My little girl memorized the first 68 digits of pi! Pretty impressive for a six-year-old! The school champ was Pao, who memorized the first 200 digits of pi. Oh, to have a memory like that.

Yay for an entire week off!
