Week of March 7

 

Kindergarten Connection

Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa

Last Week                             

The most exciting news this week was the arrival of a new student! We were so happy to welcome Kelly Coburn to our class. I was proud of our class in that each student worked to help Kelly adjust to her new place with us at Brown. 

Please make note that we now have 26 students for snack each day. Thank you!

The Variety Show was SO fun on Friday! The children behaved beautifully and enjoyed every minute. What a blessing that we are able to use the high school auditorium. It is almost as exciting for the audience as it is the performers. 

As your child begins working on his/her March homework calendar, remember to send in the February calendar. The children love making that trip to the treasure chest. 

I am sorry to say that I do not have any more Pizza Hut Book-It coupons. Many of us at Brown are finding that we were not given enough. I am working to find a way to get more. For the time being, I am keeping track of those who have earned a coupon and will get them out right away, if/when I get them. 

The book orders sent home last Friday should be placed by Monday, March 7th. Of course, there is no obligation to order. This is strictly a service to you and 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. If you are able to send Gluten free snacks that would be great too. 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

The Positivity Project trail next week is Social Intelligence. One with Social Intelligence is aware of others' thoughts and feelings. You can figure out why they do what they do.

Mr. Wells will be our Guest Reader on Wed. 3/9. Please come at 3:15 and bring 2 or 3 books to read to the class. We can't wait!

Progress reports are scheduled to come home on Wednesday, 3/9. Please reach out with any questions or concerns if you have any wonderings about your child's report. 

For our March Reading Madness Tournament of Books we will be listening to many books and voting on which we like best. This coincides nicely with our Opinion writing unit in Writer's Workshop. Feel free to listen/watch these at home as well read by some really cool people 😀.

As part of Reading month, Friday we will dress as Superheroes (this is voluntary of course).
