Homeschool Resource March 14 is International Pi Day. I am not sure what Pi! is or what Charlie needed to know about it I was so glad when an email from ClickSchooling arrived. There were 2 new Homeschool Resources in the email. One of them is a website that tells us about Pi! and what it is. David and I will be sitting down to go through the website so we can share what we need to teach Charlie.
If your like me and do not know what Pi! is I hope you take the time to check out these 2 new Homeschooling Resources. I also hope they help you teach your children what they need to know. Exploratorium: Pi Day makes teaching Pi! much easier for you and David and I. Because right now I am lost.
