Kindergarten Connection

Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa

                         Last Week

Well, it seems that our decision to reschedule our trip to Bumbleberry Acres was a good one. Tuesday was a beautiful day and we had a great time. My apologies to the parents who joined us regarding our swift exit from the farm. Our bus driver gave us a "no later than 1:55" time for boarding the bus for our return. Unfortunately we were not able to comply which we felt badly about. Hopefully we will get another chance next year. Due to several circumstances the time was not quite enough for all groups to do all things. The parents saved the day by collecting and delivering pumpkins for all. It was a great place and now we know some things we can do from our end to help things go more smoothly. The bottom line was all the kids had a great time in a really cool place. Thank you to all who joined us on this trip! We appreciate you so much! ❤


I enjoyed my time with each of the children on Thursday during our assessments. Mrs. Soyk did a wonderful job teaching as I had each student show me what he/she knows. I just have a few conferences to reschedule and we will be all set for our time together. As Mr. Rommel has stated, we now are including the students in our conference time together. This is new for most of us and we look forward to feedback from y'all.


Pajama Day was comfy and cozy with our favorite stuffies. It was fun sharing our day with them. I'm sure your child shared Mr. Rommel's afternoon snack choice with you. He did, in fact, eat several bugs and a scorpion lollipop. Ughhh 😝 As always, he was a good sport and took one for the students. They have loved teasing him about it for the last 2 weeks.


Now that the weather is more like fall, please be sure your child has adequate outdoor clothing each day. We go outside

3 times a day and we want all the children to be comfortable. 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.

 

October 30-Piper

October 31-Tyler

November 1-Charlie

November 2-Ophelia

November 3-Gunner

November 6-Brady


We have 21 children in our class.

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


The children’s October Book-It forms are beginning to come in. (they are on the back of our homework calendars) Great job reading at home! Once I get the completed form, I will send it back with a certificate for a free pizza from Pizza Hut. Please be sure that your child’s name is on the bottom of the Book-It form. 


The November calendars went home last week. The Leader in your child's back folder pocket and homework/Book it inside.


Our Fall Festival will be on Tuesday, October 31st. Appropriate costumes may be worn all day. Please be sure your child is able to go to the bathroom without having costume trouble. Our committee is preparing for a fun celebration for your children. I can't wait.


Thursday and Friday, 11/2 and 11/3, will be ½ days for conferences.


Our next Guest Reader, Mrs. Terry, will arrive at 3:20 on Wednesday, November 1st. Please bring 2-3 books with you to

read. There are some open dates on the schedule if you would like to sign up. DeLapa Guest Readers


Thank you for returning Library books by Tuesday of each week. 


Please, please label your child's outdoor clothing, lunch boxes, water bottles, etc.

Upcoming Events


I sent the Turkey projects home Friday, mostly so you would have some time to work on it. They don't need to come to school until the week of November 6th.


Tuesday, November 7th will be our 50th Day Celebration. The committee will be contacted soon. I have all the supplies except the snack items. How can it almost be our 50th day already??


Monday, November 13th will also be our Brown School Thanksgiving luncheon.  This is a great time for us to all eat together and consider all we are thankful for. This is for the students only, but be on the look out for requests for volunteers. Many are needed for this event☺.


We also have a ½ day on Friday, November 17th as we finish our 1st trimester.


Our Thanksgiving break is Wednesday, 11/22 through Friday, 11/24.

  Kindergarten Connection Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa                                                             Last Week The Solar Eclipse was such a neat experience on Monday. We are grateful to Mrs. Francis, a science teacher at Upton Middle School for receiving a grant to purchase a pair of glasses for every student in SJ Schools. I think it is a memory our children will hold on to and enjoy retelling. I hope your child came home full of excitement and was able to tell you all about it. On Thursday your child came home with a bound book that he/she helped to illustrate and create. Each of our Brown kindergartners drew a picture and gave a story starter to a SJHS Child Development student from Ms. Allen's class. On Thursday morning all 40 (2 classes) students came to r...

We certainly had a great time making them together. Thank you again to the volunteers who came to help. We could not have done it without you.  November homework and Book-It calendars are welcome back for a trip to the treasure chest and Pizza Hut certificate.

I was so sorry to miss this great event. Mrs. Gideon took some good pictures and really enjoyed the day with your wonderful children. A huge thank you goes out to all the parents who came to help get skates on and tied, help with skating and then getting them off again. We just couldn't do fun things like this without the amazing support from all of you! It was fun welcoming Hudson into our class. I was so proud of our students as they worked to make him feel at home with us. Getting a new student is exciting and fun 😀!
