  Kindergarten Connection

Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa

                         Last Week

Our biggest news of the week is definitely getting our new classmate, Karrisa. Due to the wonderful help and welcome from our kiddos, Karrisa is already fitting right in. Be sure to ask your child about our newest addition to our class. We are all so happy she is with us!!

A close second in our week was seeing Mr. Rommel kiss Harold, the pig! It was really fun and although Harold did not like Mr. Rommel picking him up, he was a very good sport about all the attention, noise and huge amount of people attending this event.

Actually, tied for second was our wonderful Fall Festival on Monday afternoon!! Thanks SO much to the parents who made this happen for us. It was loads of fun ❤🥳❤!

We had 5 varsity football players in our classroom on Friday as guest readers! Since the Bears did not win on Friday night, we know that was our last time with them. We sure have enjoyed having them this fall. Maybe we can talk some into coming back later in the year.

We received several disguised Turkeys and Time lines last week. Please take the time to do these activities with your child. They students love telling about them under the document camera and answering questions from classmates.


Students may still hand in their October Homework/Book-It forms. Great job reading at home! Please be sure that your child’s name is on the bottom of the Book-It form.

Snack and Leaders


Your child will come home with the Leader bag the night before his/her leader day. There is a notebook inside with directions for sharing both a snack with the class and a Show and Tell item. Please refer to the calendar in the back of your child's take home folder for leader and other important dates.

Due to allergies, please refrain from sending snacks that contain any kind of nut. Thank you!

We will snack in the morning each day. It is not necessary for you to send a snack with your child, as the leader provides it each day.  Thank you for sending a leak-proof water bottle with your child each day.

Please, please label your child's outdoor clothing, lunch boxes, water bottles, etc. I have another hooded sweatshirt in

our room that seems to belong to none of our students. If you are missing one, please remind your child that it is

probably at school.

   Kindergarten Connection Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa                               Last Week The highlight of our week was definitely our Fun Run Celebration on Friday! It was an absolutely beautiful day and we have SO much fun! Thanks go out to all the families for your generous giving of your time, talent and resources to make this all happen. It was amazing!!! It was fun being mix-matched on Monday. I was sorry to miss Crazy Hair Day on Wednesday. I hear we had some great hair styles. Friday was loads of fun for all as we celebrated Bucks for Brown. Thank you again for your generosity in supporting all the "extra things" we all enjoy through our wonderful PTO.

  Kindergarten Connection Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa      Last Week A few of the 100th day projects came in last week. All are due tomorrow, February 13th as we  celebrate becoming 100 days Smarter this year. All students will do a short "oral report" of their project for the class. Thank you for your help with this learning opportunity for your child.  Please let me know if you need another copy of our classmate names/numbers for Valentines. I am happy to send another copy home. Any questions, please ask.  Our student council is excited to report that Brown School raised $2742.54 this past week to support St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.  What an amazing testament to the generosity and giving spirit that permeates our building.  Thank you for your participation for this very worthy cause.   Please be sure your child has adequate outdoor gear each day. I know the weather is sporadic. Please keep your eye...

Kindergarten Connection Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa                                                          Last Week The information for the 100th Day Project went home on Friday. This is a fun activity for our kindergartners that shows how much 100 is in a real way. It can be as simple as 100 beans, pieces of pasta, etc. Please help guide your child with this, but allow him/her to do most of the work. Particularly the counting. Counting 10 groups of 10 is the easiest way for kindergartners to do this. Doing the projects for the students tells them that you don't think they can do a good enough job. Each of them is able to do a great, kindergarten job. Projects may be brought to school as early as Thurs. 2/9. We will celebrate our 100th day on Monday 2/13!! ...
