Week At A Glance

May 11-15, 2026 

Our last full week of school, how did that happen? We are talking about Dinosaurs this week, and making a giant dinosaur.

There's a lot going on in these last few days. This Friday we will have field day at our school. We made our goal of reading 1,500,000 minutes school-wide.  What a huge victory that is for the students at our school! We will be celebrating with our field day on Friday.  We will have water bounce houses, games and much more. Please send your students with their swimming suits under their clothing.  We will be starting our field day at 1:00 and it will go to the end of school.  We are encouraging each student to pack a towel, sunscreen and to wear easy shoes that slip on and off. Please send your students in bathing suits that cover the majority of their stomachs or a t-shirt and shorts that can get wet.  It is going to be such a fun day! Half say students are welcome to stay all day that day.

On Monday, May 18th, at 9:30 am, we will be holding our Dance Festival where every grade level will perform a dance!  Parents, guardians and friends are all welcome to come and watch.  We will be holding this event out on the field by the big parking lot.  We would love to have you join us if your schedule allows.  The students will be lining the sides of the dance "stage" and we are going to ask parents to sit and watch on the far east side.  You are welcome to bring a chair if you would like.  

Next Tuesday, May 19 we will be walking to the All Abilities Park in the afternoon. We will leave right after lunch and be back to the school before 2:30. If you would like to walk with us, or meet us at the park we would love to have you come.

Our class gets the chance to go see the fireflies in Spanish Fork for real! As a class we put together some kits for the library to hand out during firefly week, and in exchange for our help we get to come, with one grown up per child to see the fireflies in June, I will let you know the date as soon as I know. This activity is out of the normal school year, and it totally optional.

Kindergarten graduation is coming up! Graduation will be the last day of school, May 21 at 9:30 in the lunchroom. Graduation is best dress for students. School is out at 12:00 that day for everyone, but you are welcome to take your child home with you after the program.

   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! We aren't taking reading books home from school anymore, but please keep your child reading all summer long. I am not going to send reading calendars home for May either, but keep reading! The Spanish Fork Library has a reading program for the summer that kids can get prizes for reading books watch for information coming home this week.

    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!
