  Kindergarten Connection

Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa

    Last Week

We continue to enjoy our time with Mrs. Anderson for Junior Achievement. The lessons are well suited for our students and they really are learning about money. She will be with us for the next 2 Tuesdays to finish up the unit. Ask your child what he/she has learned during JA. 

 We had a fun time reading outside with our 3rd grade buddies last week. The weather could not have been better and we loved getting to know them better. 

Speaking of the weather.......I'm sure you are all aware that the dreaded 4-letter word has been floating around again-SNOW. The forecast tells a sad story that we are not quite finished with the "white stuff."

 Please be sure to dress your child appropriately for the weather. It is supposed to be cold again this week so be sure your child will be comfortable each day. Thank you for your attention to this for him/her.

One of the annual tasks of school is to look forward and predict future class sizes. The form below is an important tool as it allows us to hear from families already here in our district. Please take a moment and complete. Thank you!

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 Forgiveness-You forgive people who makes mistakes.

Our 3 D Shape Museum is open. If you and your child would like to "loan" an item or 2 to our museum it would be great. The shapes we are learning are Spheres, Cylinders, Cubes and Cones. Please be sure to have your child's name on the item in order to have it returned. Thank you


The Book Fair is open April 14-21.


Our next Guest Reader will be Ms. Zelenock on Wednesday, April 19 at 3:15. Please bring 3-4 books to share with the class. We look forward to this fun time each week. 😀

Upcoming Events


Tuesday, May 9-Sarett Nature Center field trip. I will send a more detailed email to those volunteers attending this trip as the date approaches. We have a morning reservation for our time there.

   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!! ...
