 Week At A Glance

April 28-May 2, 2025 

    INSECTS at school this week. We will be making our playhouse into and entomologist lab. We will be learning about the life cycle of butterflies, and about how insects have three body parts and six legs (and spiders have two body parts and eight legs). 

 This week we will be writing books about our lives and having an Author Party where you can come and celebrate our books. The Author Party is scheduled for Friday, May 2 at 3:00. You are welcome to come join us that day to see our books.

Kindergarten graduation is coming up! I can't believe how quickly this year has flown. Graduation will be the last day of school, May 22 in the lunchroom. Watch for more information and an invitation coming soon!

   Starting this week If your child can tie their own shoes, I have a little bell that they can put on their shoes. It's not part of kindergarten core, so we don't spend a lot of time on shoe tying at school, but it is such an important life skill, and most of them are ready to give it a try.

Remember to keep reading! This week we finish up the rodeo reading challenge. Please get those calendars turned in by Friday, May 2. Thank you for reading to, and with your child! Our reading goal is to read to and with your student for 20 minutes a day. Thanks for reading the book 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.

Part of our core includes learning their address and phone number. This is difficult to teach at school. Please help your child practice their address and phone number. When you feel like they know it, send me a note in their folder or an email. They will get a prize for knowing their phone number, and when they know their address, I will send a letter to them in the mail.

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!
