A full five days!


 
 

Dear Delaney Families,

   We finally made it through a full week of school.  I am sure your children will be tired from their efforts and from the adjustment back to five days! I know there was a tremendous amount of learning and productivity in all of our classrooms.

    Here are some of the highlights!

Art News from Mrs. Lovely

Art Gallery

Grades K-3 have begun having art class once a week.

Kindergarteners have begun painting and stamping shapes.

Grade one students are designing their own dinosaurs, painting them and cutting them out.

Grade 2 have painted the sky and water and have then drawn their own ducks and dinosaurs to place in the water. 

Grade 3 students are creating geometric designs.  Next, they paint them with water color paints.  Learning to mix paints and control the spread of paint is a fun challenge.

Blog News
 
The amazing individuals in our technology department discovered many issues surrounding the Email blast that alerts people when the blog is published. I have very confidence that we are on the right track and the alert will work correctly. Please remember that the blog can be accessed from the Delaney Office page on the WPS website in the event the blast malfunctions!

Blame it on the groundhog again?















 

Dear Delaney Families,

    Can we blame it on the Groundhog for a second week? It was yet another fragmented week for our students and their instruction. Our teachers remain resilient with much planning being done to accommodate the changes in the schedule and students are rising to meet the challenge!  Here are some of the highlights!



Positive Referral




 

 
 
This student received a referral for helping a peer be successful at basketball!

 

 
 


A huge thank you to our custodial staff and the Wrentham DPW for getting us back to school as soon as possible.

Many of my readers may not know that I grew up in Syracuse, NY, which of course is known for it’s snowy winters.  According to my elderly dad who has seen a few winters, he thinks the golden snowball is going to be awarded farther east this year!!  He is a very smart man and for once I hope he is wrong!

Blame it on the Groundhog!




 

Dear Delaney Families,

    We have had another challenging week in the weather department but the students are trying to make up the lost time with their learning and projects.  It has been a busy week with many activities. Here are some of the highlights!

 








 

 

Congratulations to Mrs. Kelley who organized this terrific event for our Grade 2 and 3 girls and their special guests.  Mr. Arsenault from the Roderick School was the DJ and the girls kept him busy requesting lots of Taylor Swift and  Meghan Trainor!  There were many line dances with the perennial favorites Chicken Dance, Cotton-Eyed Joe, and Macarena.

 

 

Grade 6 Buddies: 




 

Mrs. Maxwell's Kindergarten met with their buddies from Mrs. Moon's Grade 6 class.  They were making Patriots shirts and graphing player numbers.

 
 
 

 

The parking lot lanes have been compromised by the amount of snow. Please drive slow and carefully and adhere to the cone scheme to drop off your children. Our goal is to keep everyone safe.
 



 
 
 
 
Recess and Winter Clothing

 

We would love to get the children out for recess. Please make sure your child brings all the appropriate gear such as snow pants, boots, hats, and gloves so they can go onto the playgrounds. Standing on the blacktop is not too fun!

Box Tops collection February 1- April 30th Contest to the grade who collects the most and the winning grade gets a DJ at lunch!

Reminder
 
School Hours are 8:10-2:45
Please respect our community by not dropping your children off earlier than 8:10. We are aware that travel has been difficult in the weather but safety is our main concern and many children are being left unsupervised in our lobbies. The YMCA offers before school care if you need it regularly.
In addition, if you escort a child after start time, and a staff member asks you to sign in and get badge, please be respectful to them. They are following safety protocols and are not trying to make life difficult!


Literacy Night
Monday March 2, 2015
Books needed for the book swap!



 
 

 
The Delaney community is so excited that Wrentham Elementary made the morning news Thursday on the Eyeopener!  Check it out on the Channel 5 website.
