Week of November 8th

 

Kindergarten Connection

Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa

                         Last Week

Well, it worked out to be a different week than I anticipated for us all. I hear our students did a wonderful job going with the

flow. We had some wonderful guest teachers that taught and cared for them well. I am so grateful for that, but I am so excited

to be with them Monday morning!!



My grandson, Zachary, is still in the NICU but is doing much better. What a blessing those doctors and nurses have been!

When a couple of them heard that I was going to return home without seeing him, they bent the rules one night to let me go

in for 4-5 minutes. A friend of Sarah's came to sit with the girls while they slept and I zipped to the hospital. I was not able

to touch him (which was so fine), but I got to see him in person. We all were so thankful.


Never hesitate to email me (ldelapa@stjoebears.com) 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 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



On Monday, Ms. Mack (our music teacher) is going to video our class singing for our Brown School Thanksgiving luncheon. Usually we sing in person for both lunches, but this year due to 3 lunches and other factors, a video will be shown. You are welcome to have your child dress up a bit if you like. It is not necessary but if your child would like to it is fine. 


We have ½ days on Thursday and Friday, 11/11, 12, due to parent teacher conferences. Dismissal time is 12:09.


Our next Guest Reader, Mr. Lattak, will arrive at 3:20 on Wednesday, November 10th. 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


Now that the cold weather has arrived, please be sure to dress your child appropriately each day. We will go out for 3

recesses each day unless it is raining or the temperature is 10 degrees (real feel) or lower. Please label each item of clothing

with your child's name. That small step makes all the difference between finding or not finding lost items. Please spend

time practicing putting on and off our outdoor play clothing. Thank you so much!


Upcoming Events


Monday, 11/15 is our 50th Day of School! We will celebrate with a party that afternoon learning what 50 of something really looks like. Be sure to ask your child what he/she did in each center about 50 😀.


Tuesday, 11/16 is our Thanksgiving Luncheon. This is for students only, but we need lots of volunteers to make it happen. See Mrs. Bawks' blog for volunteer opportunities for this event.
