Week At A Glance
September 8-12, 2025
We are still working hard on writing our names and learning about different sounds. This week we will also start talking about our five senses and how we use them to learn about the world around us. We are mostly finished learning about families. If you haven't yet, would you please email me a picture of your family? These will be used just in class, put up on the screen for students to show us who is in their families, and then not shown anywhere else. You are welcome to include anyone who your child considers family. We will be learning about how families are all different and that it's okay. We have had so much fun learning about each other's families.
Next Monday, September 15 is a district development day. There will be no school for students that day.
Reading calendars came home last week. Our reading goal is to read to and with your student for 20 minutes a day. A reading book will start coming home tomorrow in your child's folder each night. Read it and put it back and they will get to choose another one when they bring the first one back. Write the minutes down on the reading calendar and return them at the end of the month for a prize.
Last week they brought home an orange and white phonics book. We were done with book one, and we started book two. There are nine books and they will bring them home as we finish. We may not do every page at school, because sometimes we do the activity in a different way. You do not need to return the books, and you do not need to have your child do the extra pages, but you can do them with your child if you would like.
Please label lunch boxes, backpacks, jackets and other items with at least the student's last name. This will help us to make sure that we get everything back to the proper place.
If you have any questions you can send a note in your child’s folder, or call me at school. Email is a great way to reach me too. My email address is angela.eckhardt@nebo.edu THANK YOU!
