Math- continue unit 5: In this unit, students use place value understanding to round, compare, order, add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals.
Section B: Add and Subtract Decimals
- In this section, students add and subtract decimals to the hundredths. Initially, students add and subtract in ways that make sense to them. This allows students to relate addition and subtraction of decimals to operations with whole numbers. Students also use place value reasoning to estimate the value of sums and differences.
Section C: Multiply Decimals
- In this section, students multiply decimals with products up to hundredths. Students initially multiply decimals in ways that make sense to them. Area diagrams were used to make sense of fraction multiplication in earlier units, and they are used here as a familiar representation to make sense of decimal multiplication. They use the diagrams to relate multiplying with whole numbers to multiplying with decimals.

The Solar Eclipse on April 8th is a very special event. While we won't see totality here in St. Joseph, we will be able to see 95% of the sun eclipsed by the moon. The next solar eclipse to see in the United States will be in 2045, and you'll need to travel 1,000 miles to see it. Every SJPS student will be provided ISO-certified glasses to look at the eclipse, provided by a grant from the St. Joseph Schools Foundation. The eclipse begins at 2:00pm, maxes at 3:00pm, and ends at 4:00pm. This website shows what we will see in St. Joseph and when. Students will bring their eclipse glasses home with them so they can continue their observations after school hours. It is important that no one looks at the sun without these safety glasses on. |

Bear Wear is Back!!Our Bear Wear spring store will launch on March 24 and run through April 12. Items will once again ship to your home for an $8 shipping fee and will arrive in early May. We were hoping to have items shipped to the school but a $5 fee for each order would still be added for this and sorting all the orders between all 3 elementary schools would be difficult. Some circumstances out of our control led us to use this out-of-town vendor this year. We hope to use a local vendor next year. We apologize for any inconvenience but hope you’ll take a look at the store which has some great products! Click here for a sneak peek below!

This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of OPM - Cheering others' success.
When other people succeed, I am happy for them and cheer them on. Being happy for other people when they succeed isn’t always everyone’s initial reaction. Often, it’s easy to become jealous or envious of others’ victories — or even to experience schadenfreude, which is deriving pleasure from witnessing (or learning about) another person's misfortune. People who have these reactions to the success or misfortune of others are colloquially known as “haters.” It’s important to note that these are natural emotions and, in small doses, can be helpful in allowing us to see what we care about — and motivate us to pursue those goals. But making a commitment towards cheering on other people’s successes can be a great way to improve our own health, happiness, and relationships. People can take active steps to be more genuinely happy for the achievements of others. Ways to do this include: telling others about the success of your modest friend; noticing when your reaction to a sibling’s success is envy or jealousy — and asking yourself why that is; reminding yourself that appreciating the excellence in another is a character strength; asking your successful teammates and classmates what they do to prepare for games or tests. |
