Dear Parents/Guardians,
 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 labelled 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.

We started our next novel today called "The Whipping Boy". We also began using literature circles instead of comprehension questions. We discuss the chapter, write a summary, make connections and address unfamiliar words. 

We are working diligently on our speeches. Students have worked on their introduction and conferenced with me. By next Monday I would requisition introduction be complete so we can write our three body paragraphs and conclusions for next Friday and then we can begin the editing process. When assisting your children remind them a speech is like writing a report. We have discussed that we should not use "I" statements, and we should hint at the topic we are discussing and not state it directly.  Here are a few helpful links for students to use to get idea about how to start their speeches!
