Week at a Glance 2/26 - 3/1 End of Trimester 4

4-5th Grade History Shield painting for SJA hoplites

Hello and welcome to the new week!

Welcome back! This week I wanted to highlight the subject of math.  Math continues to be a subject of wonder in our age.  Much of the technologies we've developed as a civilization-- space vehicles, computer chips, medicines of various kinds, robotics-- can at least partially be attributed to developed and applied math knowledge.

At SJA we have had and strive to further develop a math program that students continue to love.  Math is knit into all our subjects:  measurements for art projects, equations for science class, the history of math in the ancient world, and so much more!  When our students "get math", we celebrate the discovery and encourage them to mature into the years ahead.

Here's to math!
