Kindergarten Connection Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa                                                             Last Week 100th day was SO fun. Thank you for your participation in helping your child with his/her project. We all enjoyed each others' "oral reports" about our collections. The 5th grade program on Wednesday was fun too. In 5th grade the students learn how to play the ukulele. They were really good. We knew many of the songs they played and sang for us too. I was sorry to miss school on Friday due to several appointments. I loved seeing the great pictures of those who dressed as if they were 100 years old. Our student council has planned some really fun spirit days for us. Snack and Leaders Your child will come home with the Leader bag the night before his/her leader...

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 😀!

Kindergarten Connection Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa                                                             Last Week Even with a snow day, last week was busy! We finished our mid-year NWEA assessments, which always feels good. The children worked hard and did a good job of staying focused. You will get these results with T2 progress reports as I mentioned before. It feels great to see the growth since the beginning of the year. 😀 Due to a HUGE amount of Paws Tickets earned by our kindergartners, we had a great Pajama Day on Friday which included a Progressive Dance Party. We danced first in our classrooms, then went to Mrs. Lear's room and then to Ms. Sisk's room. It was big fun dancing but also to see the other classrooms. Mr. Rommel even joined us for a while. Snack and Leaders ...
