Happy Friday!
As another week comes to a close, I'm happy to share some of the great things happening at the Delaney. Please take a moment to read about both past and upcoming events and enjoy a few highlights from the week.
Ms. Fuller's second graders and special guest visitors participated in a variety of pumpkin math activities.
Positive Referrals
The following students received Positive Referrals for demonstrating outstanding behavior this week. They truly represent the Core Values of the Delaney School and we are so proud of each of them!
Kindergarten Parent Math Night
On Wednesday, October 23rd, Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Helen Nunes and Mathematics Curriculum Specialist, Dr. John Ribiero conducted a math night for Kindergarten parents. With an ultimate goal of providing parents with insight into the Common Core State Standards, attendees participated in activities designed to promote counting and cardinality skills. A special thank you to Mrs. Nunes and Dr. Ribiero for their planning and preparation and to Mrs. Wagstaff, Mrs. Swartendruber, and Ms. Walsh for helping to run the evening. We were so glad to see so many parents in attendance! Thanks to all who took time out of their busy schedules. Be on the lookout for additional parent nights as the school year progresses.
Dr. Ribiero discusses the importance of counting skills as the the foundation for future math success.
Parents use charts and manipulatives to practice counting.
Mrs. Nunes reviews Kindergarten math expectations.
Participants practice "Counting Collections" and recording their thinking.
Attendees participate in various games designed to improve counting and cardinality skills.
Students in Mrs. Nunes' Kindergarten class visited the Wrentham Fire Department last week.
Mrs. Wagstaff's class joined in the fun as well!
...as did Mrs. Beausoleil's children.
We had a great time! Thank you WFD!!!
