Text Sue what you think!

March 14th—Pi Day—is this week, and if you’re new to homeschooling or unschooling, you may not realize that it’s a bit of a quintessential homeschool holiday! But why? And how can you celebrate it in a way that feels fun (and not too schooly)?

Let's dive into the history of Pi Day, why it became a thing, and—of course—ways to celebrate it with your kids. From baking pies (because Pi) to fun trivia, quirky math connections, and even Pi-themed scavenger hunts, there are so many ways to turn this day into a lighthearted learning opportunity. And if math makes you cringe? Don’t worry—I’ll also help you reframe some of that old math anxiety so you can enjoy the fun, too.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
🥧 Why Pi Day even exists & how it all started at a museum retreat!)
📏 The simple explanation of Pi 
🎉 Fun and easy ways to celebrate—whether your kids are into math or just want pie!
📲 How social media has embraced Pi Day (and where to find the best Pi memes)
📺 Fun Pi-related videos, movies, and books to check out
🍕 How to make Pi Day your own—without making it feel like school

Whether you go all out with Pi-ku (Haiku, but for Pi) or just eat pizza for dinner, there are so many ways to join in the fun. And if your kids are rolling their eyes? That’s okay, too! Unschooling is all about making connections—and Pi Day is just one more way to do that.
