Monthly Newsletter – March 2021
Yes, St. Patrick’s Day is coming, and a flood of green and mint-flavored things along with it. But this is a STEM blog, so we are more interested in the holiday coming three days prior – Pi Day! This month, we are loaded with resources to make any mathematician happy. For those of you also looking forward to St. Patty’s Day, don’t fret, because we have a St. Patty’s Day blog written by your favorite curriculum writer, Corey, dropping on the 17th.
