A Grade Ahead of Plainsboro

Is your child ready for an academic adventure?

At A Grade Ahead, we believe every student has the potential to achieve more. Whether they need to bridge a learning gap or are looking for an extra challenge, our proven Math and English curriculum for grades K-12 is designed to keep them on the path to success.

As we head into the second month of the year, it is a great time to reflect over any New Year’s resolutions that you made at the start of the year!
So, it’s time to dig out your list of goals and make some observations, updates, and additions!
This writing practice is a great opportunity to practice reflection, self-editing, and establishing clear objectives.
If you didn’t write a resolution for 2025, there’s still time! Ask yourself these 3 questions:
1) What would I like to accomplish this year (or in the next three months)?
2) How can I accomplish this task?
3) What will happen if I reach this goal?
Check out the solution for Monday’s Math Monday Challenge! A minute has 60 seconds, and the city in the challenge uses 50 firework shells per second. So, multiply 50 shells by 60 seconds to find 3,000 shells per minute. The fireworks display will be 5 minutes, so multiply 3,000 shells by 5 minutes to get a total of 15,000 shells.

Find the answer to this Math Monday challenge by solving the math scenario! Check out the answer to the question in our next post!

We’re almost a full month into spring, and at A Grade Ahead we’re celebrating the return of warm weather and the great boost of energy that the longer days provide.
With that, we’d like to share “Seven Ways to Celebrate the Season” a blog written by Emily Karth, the Curriculum Manager at A Grade Ahead.

As with most of our A Grade Ahead community, we’re excited for the upcoming solar eclipse, which is just a few days away on April 8th. If you’re within the path of totality (where the moon’s shadow will completely block the sun), you’re sure to experience a once-in-a-lifetime event. When viewing the eclipse, please remember: Safety first!
Never look directly at the sun without proper eye protection, and supervise children while using eye protection.
Learn more about the solar eclipse from “Total Solar Eclipses: An Astronomical Spectacle on April 8th, 2024” written by Don Stevens, Director of Perkins Observatory and teacher at A Grade Ahead.
