Week At A Glance

March 23-27, 2026 

  This week we will be talking about the start of our country, our nation’s capitol, George Washington, Teddy Roosevelt and other presidents. Interestingly enough, I will be done Tuesday-Friday this week, I am taking a group of 4H students to Washington DC. I told the kindergarteners I will send them videos of the places they are talking about. I will be available through email, so let me know if you have any questions.

  Two papers went home in folders today. One is the Fiesta Days reading challenge paper. It is for reading minutes for April, and needs to be returned by May 1. Your child could win tickets to the Fiesta Days Rodeo and more. The second one is a splash summit reading challenge. The splash summit paper is really for March. I thought they went home earlier in the month one of the days I had a sub, but they didn’t. I am still sending it, because you can use your other reading calendar to fill it out. The Splash Summit papers need to be returned by April 2.

     April 3 is our Humpty Dumpty Egg drop. The Humpty Dumpty Egg drop is a Larsen Kindergarten tradition that began long before I was here. Each kindergartener should hard boil an egg, and then think of a way to protect it. Mr. Jacobsen will be HURLING the eggs off of the school roof. Anything you can think of to protect “Humpty” is fair game. I have seen pillows, balloons, packing peanuts, balls, and even Jell-O. The egg needs to come to school with your child on Friday, but you are welcome to come later in the day to watch the “hurling”. We will start throwing Humptys at 11:00 on the blacktop near the kindergarten playground. If you have any questions let me know.

April 3 we will be having a small Easter egg hunt too. We will be filling eggs at school, but could use a little help with candy. If you would like to help, please send a bag of wrapped candy to go in Easter eggs to school with your child next week by Thursday.

Thursday, April 23 is our Hogle Zoo field trip. I will need parents to help chaperone that day. We will be signing up to chaperone after Spring Break, so watch for that next week. In April we will also 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 May 1 at 2:00. 

      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
