What a great resource to celebrate Pi Day! My students loved the suggested book Sir Cumference and the Pi Dragon. They were given such an avenue to be creative with the circle art. And I loved seeing them hard at work creating their STEAM wheels. Thank you for this fun, engaging day of activities.

This was a great purchase! Pi Day is a fun but difficult thing to celebrate at the elementary level. The little booklet provided gave just enough information about Pi without going into too much detail for the younger kids. My third graders loved making the Pi Day wheels and their circle Pi Day pictures came out adorable! Thank you for a day of fun!
