  Kindergarten Connection

Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa

                                                        Last Week

Your child's folder came home Friday with the February Leader calendar in the back pocket. The February Homework calendar came home too. You may send back the January calendars at any time next week for a trip to the treasure chest and Book-it Pizza Hut certificates.


Much fun was had with the return of snow to our world. Just a reminder that snow pants and boots must be worn in order to go onto the playground. If not, the children remain on the blacktop area to stay dry. It is very important that your child brings a pair of shoes to change into while inside. You are welcomed and encouraged to leave a pair of shoes at school. Wet boots on our rug make it difficult for us to keep it dry for sitting on during group time.

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.

Next Week 


Our Positivity Project trait is Kindness. You say and do nice things. You help others.


On Wednesday we get to see the 4th grade program in the morning. It is so fun to see siblings or friends we know perform. 


You will receive important information regarding Valentines and the 100th day projects this Friday. I have found that these tend to get lost in the shuffle if I send them too far in advance. 


As far as valentines go, you will be given a sheet with each of our classmates' names and numbers in boxes. Your child is to cut out all the names and tape or glue one on each valentine to be distributed during our party. Your child will only need to sign his/her name to the valentines they wish to give to classmates. It is a great matching activity as each child will have made a Valentine Bag at school with the same name and number box. If you have any questions once you get the sheet, please let me know.

   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!! ...
