Happy Monday!

The Grade 6s are holding a Candy Sale Tuesday and Wednesday. Students are encouraged to participate in the sale buy purchasing a few pieces of candy. All proceeds from the sale are going to the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.

The Grade Ones will be turning their classrooms into grocery stores for our Organization unit. The students have been working really hard to stock it full of healthy snacks and drinks. On Tuesday Jan. 17th we will be opening our stores to SJA classes to purchase healthy snacks and drinks for $1-2. All proceeds will be donated to the Sick Kids Hospital.

January 20th is International Day at SJA. Parents, family and friends are welcomed to join us at 2:30 to enjoy the different cultures we have researched. 

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: 1.     Visit http://mydigitalmailroom.com/sja/login.php 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.

UOI: We started our UOI summative assignment today. 

Math: In math we looked for patterns when multiplying by 10, 100 and 1000. Students used manipulatives to model their multiplication sentences and they also used mental math.  We will be having a multiplication quiz next Thursday Jan. 19th from multiples 1 to 3.
