  Kindergarten Connection

Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa

                         Last Week

Yesterday your child came home with a new set of Sight Words and the book, Baby Animals. Please add the words to your child's sight word bag and the book to your designated spot for books your child can read. We practice the current sight words daily, but this is not enough for your child to know them well. Please go through them daily. 


Reading to and with your child daily is extremely important for so many reasons. Please prioritize this time.

You will never regret the time with your child nor realize the impact it has had on his/her development

and love for reading (I know, I sound like a broken record. Sorry, it is my soapbox 😊).

______________________________________________________________


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.


December 12-Madison

December 13-Ryland

December 14-James

December 15-Piper

December 16-Brayden 1/2*

December 19-Karrisa


We now have 25 children in our class.

*denotes birthday

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.

Next Week 


P2 Character Strength-Integrity-2-You are honest and speak the truth.


On Wednesday, 12/14, the Holiday Club is having a Bake Sale during the lunchtimes. Items range from 50 cents to $2. The proceeds are 100% donated to families in need. 

Wednesday is an extremely busy day! We also get to be part of the audience for the 3rd graders' Nutcracker performance. It is fun to watch and think of which part we might like to play when we are in 3rd grade. Be sure to ask your child about this. 

On Wednesday, December 14th we will make Gingerbread houses! If you are able, please send your assigned

item by Monday, Dec. 12th (so I can supplement if necessary). I am still in need of 2 parents to help on this day. We will

begin at 1:15 (for set up) until 2:30 ish that afternoon. Please let me know if you are able to join us Wednesday.


Please send a leak-proof water bottle to school with your child each day.


Upcoming Events


Thursday, December 22nd we will have our Winter/Holiday Party. This party will be in the afternoon instead of morning

as stated in last weeks' blog. If you are assigned to that committee, you will be contacted soon 😊.


Our Holiday break is 12/23-1/8. Enjoy your time together!!

   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. It is always fun seeing so many Brown School families at our Donuts with your Special Person event. It makes me smile to see all the chocolate faces that come through our...

  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!! ...
