Week At A Glance
February 23-27, 2026
This week we will start playing store. If you have EMPTY boxes or plastic jars or jugs from things that are sold at the grocery store that you could send for us to play store with you can start sending them with your child to school.
Next week is our last parent teacher conference. For this conference our school does something called "walking report cards". This means that you will come have your child show you what they can do instead of just listening to me talk. Our class will be having an ice cream restaurant earlier that day, and your child will serve you that night as part of their walking report card. You may choose to come anytime that works for you from 4:00-5:00 or from 5:30-7:30. It is open-house style, and will only take 15ish minutes to get done. Be sure to bring your child with you this time.
We are learning about our National and State Symbols. This is one of my favorite units, because I love our nation's symbols. The email today includes a link to a virtual field trip of our nation's symbols that will work on any tablet or computer (and most phones). We did it Friday in class and it was so fun.
Remember to keep reading! 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!
