Why is everyone excited about a Pi you can't eat?
March 14th is the 300th anniversary of Pi Day. Use the links below to learn more!
"Pi Day and Pi Approximation Day are two holidays held to celebrate the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 (3/14), due to π being roughly equal to 3.14. Pi Approximation Day is observed on July 22, due to π being roughly equal to 22/7". - source Wikipedia. The Official Pi Website has the countdown to Pi Day, explains the history and mathematical concept of Pi, and includes lesson plans and celebration ideas. The Joy of Pi has many fascinating facts, including a 10,000 digit of Pi "for your reading pleasure", an excellent visual for students to grasp what infinity really is, and FREE downloadable lessons and activities.

Creative Writing for Reluctant Writers!
 Debbie has this to say about this awesome FREE creative resource, "Pixton is a tool that enables the
homeschooling educator to interest a child in creative writing. I have
found over the years that children don't equate comics with actual
literature. I have also found that reluctant writers are easy to
prompt along with pictures. Pixton makes this easy to do."
