Kindergarten Connection

Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa

                                                 Last Week

Your children did a wonderful job of showing the preschoolers from the YMCA all about Brown School and Kindergarten. They all looked so little, which reminded me of how my current students looked when the year began. They have all grown so much!

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

Last week I showed the class this video for learning to tie shoes. I have used this with several kiddos and it usually learned quickly. Give it a try. Easiest Way to Tie Shoes 

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...

  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 😀!
