Kindergarten Connection
Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa
Last Week
After reading a story to your child, ask him/her to identify the main idea for you. Once that is established, see how many details he/she can list for you. You might even ask if the book is fiction or nonfiction. You may be surprised at how much your kindergartner can tell you.
We finished up Mileage Club on Friday. It was loads of fun and the children loved working toward a common goal and getting the charms 😊. Thank you to all those who donated to our Brown School PTO through this fund raiser. There is still plenty of time if you would like to send in your donation. We will celebrate Bucks for Brown together on Friday afternoon. 🥳
I have seen some nice improvement in the coat department. Thank you for spending time on this important skill
with your child. It is one of those benchmarks the children are proud to master.
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 afternoon each day (our lunch time is 11:30). 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 Events
Some big news for next week is that we are getting a new student! Her name is Jolene and she will begin with us on Monday. I have no doubt that our kiddos will make her feel welcome. Another change in our class is our Evie is moving into Mrs. Younger's Young 5's class. We will miss her but know we will see her many times a day. Evie was excited to tell the news to her classmates. Our main focus is always, what is best for students.
Next week we will continue to work on the skills of identifying main idea and supporting details using the book, What Are Some Rules At Home? Ask your child if the rules we are reading about in school are the same as some you have at home.
In Science for the Weather Watching unit we will talk about how the weather changes with the seasons. We will use what the weather is like on their birthdays to make this point clear to them. We use Mystery Science as a curriculum. We all love it!
Our first Guest Reader, Mrs. Fitzpatrick will arrive at 3:20 on Wednesday, October 11th. Please bring
2-3 books with you to read. There are many open dates on the schedule. Please find one that works for you on the Guest
reader document I have shared with you. (If you can’t find it, please ask) DeLapa Guest Readers
Thank you for returning Library books by Tuesday of each week.
Just a reminder that the students must wear gym shoes each Friday.
Upcoming Events
Our first field trip to Bumbleberry Acres will be Friday, October, 20th. I have sent an email to those volunteering for this trip.
Please join me in hoping for a beautiful fall day for our trip. More on this in next week's blog.
Picture retakes are October 23.
Our Fall Festival will be on Tuesday, October 31st. The children may wear costumes that day for the party. Please
keep all of our Kindergartners in mind when choosing the costume for your child. There should be no costumes worn that
might scare the children or masks worn. Let’s keep our wholesome environment in mind and be sure all are comfortable and
able to enjoy the day. If you have any questions about your choice, please ask.
