Week of January 10

 

Kindergarten Connection

Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa

Last Week

                             Happy New Year to you all!

I hope y'all enjoyed our snow day on Friday. It was great that we knew the night before too.

Oh it has been so wonderful being together again. The cold temperatures kept us inside much of the week, but we found other ways to move and get the wiggles out. Thankfully we are able to use the Gym if it is not in use. We met Ms. B's class there and had lots of fun running and playing together. 

As you all know, the students' computers were sent home on Thursday. We are going to see how our plan works with returning the computer and charger each day. Some other classes leave the chargers at home and only move the computers back and forth. For now, please return the charged computer and charger each day. If you have thoughts on how this might work better, I would love to hear them.

Our remote sessions are working well (from my perspective anyway) for those under quarantine. We Login to our Google Classroom Meet at 9 am and 1:10 pm. We all love seeing and interacting with our friends at home. For those experiencing this, please let me know if you think of ways I could do this better for your child.

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

Next week we will take our mid-year NWEA assessments. My plan is to administer the Reading on Wednesday morning and Math on Friday morning. We will take these on the students' Chromebooks, so it is extremely important that all computers return each day. Thank you for your attention to this.

Our Positivity Project trait is Prudence.

You plan for the future and make good choices to achieve your goals.
