Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa
Last Week
I have heard great things about last week from Mrs. Caplea and Mr. Russell. I feel blessed to have had both of them particularly with the sub shortage educators are finding these days. These are 2 of my favorite guest teachers to be sure.
I heard from Mr. Russell that the Fall Festival was loads of fun! Thanks so much to our parent volunteers for making this happen. We surely could not have done it without you. If any of you took some pictures of the party, please post them on our Brown School Facebook page.
The children’s October Book-It forms are beginning to come in. (they are on the back of our homework calendars) Great job reading at home! Once I get the completed form, I will send it back with a certificate for a free pizza from Pizza Hut. Please be sure that your child’s name is on the bottom of the Book-It form.
We have been working on analyzing characters in Daily 5 this week. See if your child can analyze one in a story at home. Check to see if he/she can tell you the Main Idea, setting and whether it is Fiction or Non-fiction☺.
The week of 10/18 we had our first Reader’s Theater unit in Language Arts. The children learned to read "With My Family"
through sight word work and choral reading (reading together several times). The book came home on Friday, 10/22. Please
keep this and subsequent others in a safe spot so your child can read them often. Every 3 weeks your child will add to his/her library of books he/she can read from our ELA curriculum. Additional books will come home as well from time to time. Then read, read, read!!
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.
November 1-Hope Michael
November 2-Andrew*
November 3- Michael Hope
November 4-Gwen
November 5-Brecken*

We have 25 children in our class.

Due to allergies, please refrain from sending snacks that contain any kind of nut. Thank you!
We will snack in the morning each day. 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.

Next Week
P2 Character Strength-Perspective
Monday, 11/1 is our Picture retake day. If you would like retakes for your child, please return your complete photo package
on Monday. Also, anyone absent on our first picture day will have photos taken on this day. I think Sam was the only one
absent on that day.
Our next guest reader, Mrs. Wells, will arrive at 3:20 on Wednesday, November 3rd. Please bring
2-3 books with you to read. There are many open dates on the schedule. Please find one that works for you on the Guest
reader document I have shared with you. (If you can’t find it, please ask) DeLapa Guest Reader Sign Up Sheet
I will be back to school on Thursday and look forward to being with my kiddos. As of this typing, our little one has yet to arrive! I guess he or she is not in any hurry. My daughter will be induced early Sunday morning so we pray that Sunday will be the day. 💕
On Friday expect a fun home activity in your child’s folder. As Thanksgiving approaches we would love to see some creativity in disguising a turkey. Please return by 11/12.
Upcoming Events
Just a reminder that, next Thursday and Friday, 11/11 and 11/12, will be ½ days for conferences.
Monday, November 15th will be our 50th Day Celebration. The committee will be contacted this week. I have all the supplies except the snack items. How can it almost be our 50th day already??
Tuesday, November 16th will be our Brown School Thanksgiving luncheon. This is a great time for us to all eat together and consider all we are thankful for. This is for the students only, but be on the look out for requests for volunteers. Many are needed for this event☺.
We also have a ½ day on Friday, November 19th as we finish our 1st trimester.
Our Thanksgiving break is Wednesday, 11/24 through Friday, 11/26.
