DeLapa Kindergarten 2023-24

  Kindergarten Connection Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa                               Last Week We had such fun singing before our Thanksgiving Feast. The feast was delicious too and we even had ice cream for dessert! A big thank you goes out to all the volunteers who came to serve us. We felt very loved and cared for ❤. It has been so fun seeing our classmates disguised turkeys and time lines. Things like these help us to get to know each other more and more. I appreciate the time taken with your child doing these projects. They are so proud to share. I will not send a blog next week so this will cover the next 2 as far as leader/snack and guest reader are concerned. 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 th...

Kindergarten Connection Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa                               Last Week Our 50th day was a great celebration of all we have learned about math and reading, but also about each other. Thanks so much to the volunteers who helped make this party happen. We sure had fun! During Daily 5 we are learning to state the Sequence of Events in the stories we read and the things we do. Ask your child to tell you the sequence in some common job he/she does, ie. brushing teeth, getting ready for bed, etc. You may be surprised at the answer.  In Math we are working with shapes. Look around to see how many shapes there are in our homes, yards, stores, anywhere we go. The 5 shapes we need to know this year are square, triangle, rectangle, circle and hexagon. Most of our kiddos know most of them. It is fun to find them in our world. Pleas...

  Kindergarten Connection Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa                               Last Week I so enjoyed our time together during conferences last week. This was our first year including the students and I thought it was great! I think the kinders felt heard and appreciated being able to tell their stories some. I am always available if you would like to meet to discuss your child's school experience. Please don't hesitate to reach out with concerns or questions.  Now that the weather is somewhere between fall and winter, 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.

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 ...
