Kindergarten Connection

Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa


Last Week


Happy Mother's Day to all our wonderful Moms! I hope it has been a great day for you all with your families. 


We had a perfect day for our trip to Sarett Nature Center on Friday. Please ask your child to tell you all he/she learned and experienced. A big thank you goes out to the grown ups who gave us their time as chaperones for this trip. 


Our time with author Leslie Helakoski was great. She told us about the writing process and how she began writing books

when she was in elementary school. She also helped us all to draw an owl and an alligator, step by step. Your child

brought the drawings home on Friday afternoon. Be sure to ask about this.


We have been reviewing high frequency words each day. Please work with these words at home with your child as well. Each word learned helps the reading process move forward. If you need me to send home another copy of the words, I will be happy to. My assessment day is Monday, 5/19. I can't wait to see the improvement in known words. 


Never hesitate to email me (ldelapa@sjschools.org) with any questions you may have regarding any of our “kindergarten stuff.”

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.

Due to an allergy, please refrain from sending snacks that contain any kind of nut. Thank you!

We will snack in the morning each day (our lunch time is 12:25). It is not necessary for you to send a snack with your child, as the leader provides it each day.  Thank you for sending a leak-proof water bottle with your child each day.

Our Positivity Project trait is -Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence-I see the beauty in the world around me and pay attention to cool stuff people do (I paraphrased 😊).

I thing that may be a record. We had a fun day and enjoyed our celebration. Thank you to the parents who helped make this a special day for our children. 👏 We loved seeing the 1st grade program on Wednesday afternoon. They did a wonderful job! It is crazy to think that our kinders will be up there next year. Our. Music department is amazing and brings out the best in each child. They all have a great time performing too.  Never hesitate to email me ( l delapa@s jschools.org) with any questions you may have regarding any of our “kindergarten stuff.” ______________________________ ______________________________ __ 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 Thank you all for making the effort to spend time together listening to, encouraging and loving on your children during our conferences. The expectation is that we hold conferences with 100% of our families. I appreciate that you all made that easy for me this year. I really enjoyed our time together. Our turkeys decorating the hallway look wonderful. Each one is unique and the entire Brown School family loves seeing each new one hung. If your child has not done one yet, there is still time. I'm happy to send home another turkey too if needed.  Never hesitate to email me ( l delapa@s jschools.org) with any questions you may have regarding any of our “kindergarten stuff.” ______________________________ ______________________________ __ 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 It was great to be back together again this week. We enjoyed sharing how we spent our time off. We realized that we really missed each other. 😌 The class did a great job getting right back into the swing of our daily routines and procedures. They are acting like 1st graders more and more each day. 😃  There was an Exterior Lock Down drill on Thursday. It was during our Music time so it was good for our students to practice in a place other than our room. Everyone did well with Mrs. Miltibarger.  Never hesitate to email me ( l delapa@s jschools.org) with any questions you may have regarding any of our “kindergarten stuff.” ______________________________ ______________________________ __ Snack and Leaders Your child will come home with the Leader bag the night before his/her leader day.
