Happy Children’s Book Week! Children’s Book Week was started in 1919 by Franklin Matthiews, Frederic Melcher, and Anne Carroll Moore. The original belief behind Children’s Book Week was that “children’s books and literacy are life-changers” (Every Child a Reader). Children’s Book Week celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2019, and that year they decided to begin having two Children’s Book Weeks- one in the spring and one in the fall. This tradition of two Book Weeks has continued, and both will be happening in 2021!

Pi- the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. It’s a comparison of the distance around a circle to its width. The symbol for Pi is π, and is commonly approximated to 3.14 when you want the numerical version. Although Pi has been around since the early 1600s, the true value of Pi hasn’t been determined just yet. Pi is considered to be an irrational and transcendental number. This means that it will continue forever, with no noticeable pattern to it’s value.
