Week At A Glance

August 31-Sept 4, 2026

We are working hard on writing our names and learning about different sounds. More Nursery Rhymes this week! This Friday, September 4, we will be having a nursery rhyme day at school. Please help your child choose a nursery rhyme to practice at home to be ready to recite it that day. Help them think of a simple costume or prop to use to help them with their rhyme. For example, Jack be Nimble could bring a candle stick to jump over, Hey diddle diddle could bring a dish and a spoon, etc... This doesn’t need to be a big production, but it is important to your child that you help them prepare for it, since we don’t want anyone to feel left out. We get to eat curds and whey that day, be sure to ask them after school what they thought about it.

     In Social studies we are learning about families. In the next few days 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. It's so fun for them to show us the people that they love!

      We have learned so many routines and procedures, and this class has done so well! I am constantly impressed with how well they handle things.

     A link came home in today's email to sign up to help for class parties. If you are willing and able to come help, I would appreciate it so much. I will also be looking for field trip help, but I will just send a request closer to the week of the field trip. If you have any questions, please let me know.

     A new homeowrk sheet for practicing name writing came home today. Please just sit with your child and help them to write their name the "Larsen Leopard way" just one time a day. This small practice will have big results for your child. Return the homework sheet in their folder on Friday or Monday for a sticker.

Reading calendars also came home today. Our reading goal is to read to and with your student for 20 minutes a day. A reading book will start coming home soon. Read it with your child, 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, along with any minutes that you read to your child and return the calendar at the end of the month for a prize.

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!
