    Kindergarten Connection Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa                               Announcements What a fun week it has been! Mileage Club on M, W and F has been great. The children are so happy to get their foot charms each day. The winning class gets to keep a traveling trophy in their classroom AND have an ice cream treat. 😋 For all who have submitted a volunteer sheet, the volunteer list for trips and parties was sent to you last week.

The children are fast learners and are doing well. What a great group I have!! We actually had our first All School Fire Drill on Thursday. I was pleased with how well the children took it seriously and followed directions. We will practice a Tornado Drill next week.

We have worked on the computers a few times and are beginning to get the hang of them. Logging in is difficult, but can be done with practice. All of the students were able to finish the Reading po...
