On March 14, 2011, in Raleigh, North Carolina, everyone is crossing their fingers for their favorite basketball teams. Here we are about to start the NCAA basketball championship. Though the sky is overcast with a chance of rain, spring is starting and the sight of new buds puts us in high spirits after a cold winter. Raleigh is the capital city of the pretty state of North Carolina, and we are lucky not to have too many extreme temperatures. Today is Pi Day here at school. We call it Pi Day because the date is 3/14 just like three point one four, the beginning of pi. Here at The Magellan Charter School, in the fifth grade, patterns are the new unit in math. We are enjoying reading a new book, __Seaman__, in language arts. We students are reading myths, fables, and legends for our personal reading. Overall, today has been a great day in Raleigh, North Carolina.
