Kindergarten Connection

Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa

                                                 Last Week

Happiest of Mother's Days to all the mothers out there. I hope your families pampered you appropriately. What a beautiful day it has been too. 💙💛

My goodness, thank you all for the many gifts, flowers, pictures and notes during Teacher Appreciation Week!! I was certainly spoiled and felt very loved and appreciated. Please know that I appreciate all of you as well. 😊

We had a perfect day for our trip to Sarett Nature Center. Thank you to all the grown ups who joined us. We had an indoor session when we learned about several kinds of forest animals. The Naturalists did a nice job and we even saw several live animals that have been found on the Sarett property. We then separated into smaller groups for our hikes. Sarett is a beautiful place that is rich with different habitats and many knowledgeable people. Be sure to ask your child about the trip and have him/her tell you some new things learned at Sarett.

Thankfully, all our students were at school for our ELA NWEA test on Thursday. One down, one to go this Monday for the Math test. It always feels good to finish them for us all. The results will come home with progress reports mailed home the week after school is out.

Please remember to send in the finished April homework calendars for a trip to the treasure chest.

Last week was our last to check out library books. Please find and return all books by Tuesday.

Unfortunately our last couple of Mileage Club days were rained out. 😒 It is great that our PTO goes to the trouble of doing this for us in the spring too. It takes many volunteers and we appreciate the effort helping our students to prioritize exercise regularly.

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.

  Kindergarten Connection Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa                                                             Last Week Last week flew by! Ice skating was a blast from what I hear. 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 😀!
