  Kindergarten Connection

Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa

    Last Week

Art portfolios were sent home on Thursday. I hope you enjoyed looking at all of your child's amazing creations. Our Art Department is second to none from elementary through high school. 🎨

May homework calendars came home last week and the leader/events calendars were placed in the back pocket of backpacks. Completed April homework calendars are welcome any time for a trip to the treasure chest. Just a reminder that the Pizza Hut Book-It program only runs from October through March. 

We enjoyed surprising Miss Holly on Wednesday with a baby shower for her little one. She was very touched and surprised! Thank you to those who sent cards or gifts. We will surely miss her. We can't wait to meet her new "baby bear" over a google meet.

 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.

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 Supporting Others when they struggle-You do your best to help others.

As you know, Mileage Club begins again this week. M, W and F at lunch recess the kiddos will be able to earn a foot charm for their first laps and then continue to do laps for our classroom total in hopes of winning the coveted K-2 grade trophy. The winning class also will win an ice cream party 😋.

 

Our next Guest Reader will be Mrs. Grove, Abby's grandma, on Wednesday, May 3rd 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 have sent a more detailed email to those volunteers attending this trip. Let's pray for a nice day for our time in the forest. Thankfully, if the weather is not good, Sarett always has an alternate inside plan for our time with them. Either way, it will be a fun time of learning. 




Tuesday, May 16-Donuts with Someone you Love


Our spring Mileage Club will run during the lunch recess time on May 1, 3, 5, 8 and 10. We love this opportunity to keep our bodies healthy through regular exercise 😊.

   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!! ...
