St Aiden's - South Africa - Educators Calendar April

April 2008
April is Mathematics Education Month, a great time to focus on this important
subject. Enhance your primary students' basic skills with our resources on
everything from addition and subtraction to measurement and time. Don't forget
our free fun curriculum-based numbers & counting activity books. If your middle or
high school students are sceptical about math's importance, show them how math
functions in real life and across the curriculum. For exceptional resources for your
high school student, visit The Family Education Network!

April also hosts Alcohol and Drug Awareness Month, National Library Week, and
Earth Day — which makes it a great time to explore the issues around global
warming.
