 Kindergarten Connection

Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa

                                                 Last Week

Last week seemed to fly by! That always seems to be the case after spring break. We are enjoying our small reading groups during Daily 5 time. This time of year is so gratifying as I get to see the reading light bulbs go on. Please, please continue to read daily with your child. It is more important than I can emphasize.

Several students have been bringing books from home to read to the class. The reader and all of us love this time. We are so proud of our classmates and enjoy encouraging them. My only request is that the child practice the book at home until they have mastered it. The last thing I want is for a child to be embarrassed standing before the class unable to read it. All are welcome to bring a well-practiced book to school.

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.

  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 😀!
