Week At A Glance

May 4-8, 2026 

    Fireflies this week! This week we are finishing insects and working on some other fun things (watch for a "mom" surprise coming home on Thursday). Fireflies are one of my favorite insects. We actually have fireflies in Spanish Fork, but it's hard to get the chance to go see them. I have been working with the owner of Thompson Century Farms where the fireflies are, and she has agreed to allow our class to come see the fireflies for real! As a class we are putting together some kits for the library to hand out during firefly week, and in exchange for our help she will let the kids come, with one grown up to see the fireflies one night in June. We are still working out the scheduling, but watch for information coming soon.

 Thanks to everyone who came to help us celebrate our books! It was so fun for me to see all of their stories and how excited they were to show you!

Kindergarten graduation is coming up! Graduation will be the last day of school, May 21 at 9:30 in the lunchroom. An invitation will come home with your child tomorrow.

   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 is the last week for reading books from school, but please keep your child reading all summer long. I am not going to send reading calendars home for May either, but keep reading! There is information about the library summer reading program coming home soon, watch for it, or let me know if you have any questions.

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!
