Kindergarten Connection

Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa


                      Last Week


We were able to finish both sections of the NWEA tests last week. Our students worked hard and did their bests. 


I hope y'all enjoyed the snow day on Thursday. I loved hearing that most got outside and enjoyed the day. By afternoon, it was perfect snow play weather!  


Please remember to --

  • Send a leak-proof, water bottle each day.
  • Dress your child for the weather of the day-snow pants, boots, hat and mittens.
  • Send shoes each day to change into for inside time (leaving a pair at school is fine).
  • Empty your child's folder each day.
  • Return Library books by Wednesday of each week.
  • Wear gym shoes each Friday for gym class.

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. I will place the monthly calendars in the folders for your reference. 


January 20-Seher

January 21-Melody

January 22-George

January 23-Benaiyah

January 26-Janie


We have 25 children in our class.

*denotes birthday

We have a child with a nut allergy in our class so please refrain from sending snacks with nuts of any kind.

We will snack in the morning each day. Sending 1 snack is plenty as our lunch time is later in the day. It is not necessary for you to send a snack with your child, as the leader provides it each day.  


Next Week Events


Enjoy the day off tomorrow for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.


Tuesday, 1/20, we will go to the Upton Planetarium. Be sure to ask your child to tell you all about it. 



Our next guest reader will be Mrs. Zuhl (Ari's Grandma)  on Wednesday, January 21. Please come at 3:15 with 3-4 of your favorite books. We will see you then 😀.


Friday, 1/23, we are having Emmett Twomey, a Meteorologist from ABC 57, come to tell us about how he does his job. This pairs beautifully with our Weather theme in Language Arts. I hope to share some pictures of his time with us.  


Upcoming Events


Lego Night is Wednesday, 1/28 at Brown School from 5:30-7:00. Come enjoy the fun of Legos with your Brown School family!


Thursday, January 29-Ice Skating at the Howard Ice Arena. I will send a form this week asking for your child's shoe size for this fun Brown School tradition. ⛸ Please follow this link to a form giving me your child's skate size.

  Kindergarten Connection Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa                               Last Week We have completed the ELA portion NWEA fall testing. Our kiddos did a nice job of staying focused and following directions. This is strictly a baseline and also a first for these students. We will take the Math piece next week. The results will come home with progress reports at the end of the Trimester. It has been fun getting the hang of Table and Math Centers in our room. The children are making good choices and enjoying the experiences. Table centers reinforce skills from any of our curriculum areas. Be sure to ask your child what he/she did during center time.  Your child checked out his/her first Library book home on Wednesday. Please encourage careful use of the book. Mrs. Hassenger taught us that we should treat/carry our books as i...

    Kindergarten Connection Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa                            Last Week My goodness the end of the year has come so quickly. The students have been anxious to help with packing up and cleaning the room. I can't speak to what happens at home, but each one of them is very helpful and great at cleaning and organizing. It has been fun working as a team getting our room ready for summer! Step Up Day was a big hit on Thursday. Our class spent 15 ish minutes with Mrs. Brown and 15 in Mrs. Miller's class. They got a small taste of what 1st grade will be like.  Ask your child what he/she learned about 1st grade.  Summer Reading Challenge information went home with the Book Bonanza books. Many of the things on the list are things you and your family will probably do anyway this sum...
