News about our lunch
program - SJA is excited to announce that our lunch ordering system has now been
upgraded!
Beginning today you will place all lunch orders on-line. The ordering
system is more simplified and easy to navigate.
Below are the instructions on how to order and how to pay:
2. Click on the link. Don't have an
account? Register and
register your child based on your email address, their grade, and classroom
teacher name. (You can register more than one child)
3. Verify your email account through the
email sent
4. Log-in and look for the tab manage lunch
on the top left of the page
5. Select add new lunch form
6. Select student name and payment method
7. Check off the boxes for your selections
for each day
8. Press save
9. The program will then take you to a
screen that will give you the total you owe for the month
10. Please place amount owing (in agenda) in a zip lock bag
clearly labeled with student first and last name as well as teacher name.
We recognize the process is new and may be confusing so we appreciate
your understanding in this matter. If you have any questions or concerns
regarding the ordering process, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Smith
at bsmith@stjudesacademy.com to set up
an appointment time to assist you in the ordering process.
******Please place all orders by January 27Th 2017. Please
keep in mind that after this date no orders can be accepted as the site will
close until the new month. We will send reminders and blog posts to ensure you
do not miss the deadline. ******

Math
Key points to remember:
Remember that when you answer a division question with a remainder it
should read 2 R3 (11/4 = 2 R3 (2 x 4 = 8 + 3 = 11)).
We found out that any number divided by 1 will be that number (9/1 = 9)
and any number divided by itself will be 1 (9/9 = 1). We used arrays to help
us. For example 12/3 = *** = 12 total * with 3 in each row = 4 total groups
***
***
***
We also used our multiplication chart to help us. For example, 50/5 =
10. We find 50 on the chart, find the 5, and then find the other number that
will be our answer (10)! We quickly realized that with just 3 numbers we could
create 4 equations, 2 multiplication equations, and 2 division equations. For
example 30/5 = 6, 30/6=5, 5x6=30, and 6x5=30. There are the same 3 numbers in
each equation, just switched around.
Some multiplication strategies are repeated
addition – 3 x 4 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12, using
arrays (pictures) - **** **** **** = 3 x 4 = 12. There are 3 groups with
4 in each group. Skip counting is
another strategy - 5 x 7 = 5, 10, 15 20, 25, 30, 35 OR 2 x 6 = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10,
12. Using a number line or multiplication chart are other useful
strategies. Remember that 5 x 8 = 40 and so does 8 x 5 = 40, any number x 1
will be that number (10 x 1 = 10) and any number x 0 will always be 0 (9 x 0 =
0).
Homework – Math test on Monday,
January 30 – review was be sent home today
