Week At A Glance

August 18-21, 2026

       I am so excited to start kindergarten.  I am looking forward to a new year, and to getting to know each of your children.  It was nice to have a chance to talk to you at open house.  If you have any questions or concerns that we didn’t address then, please let me know. If you did not make it to open house your child brought home an information sheet today for you to know things about our class, as well as a sheet for you to fill out to help me learn more about them. Please fill out the student information sheet and send it back in your child’s folder.

       This week we are learning routines and also getting to know the people in our class.  One of the big things we are concentrating on is getting our folders out and putting them in the box right when we get to school.  It is important that your child bring a backpack or other bag with them every day-with their folder in it.  If your child needs a back pack, please let me know. Kindergarten is the time when a lot of your child’s attitudes about school, and study habits start.  Taking a few minutes to reinforce routines now will pay off in the long run, and this small thing does a lot to help your child succeed at school.   

       Today we took a tour of our school and looked for paw prints left by L the Leopard, our school’s mascot.  We learned that a group of leopards is called a leap, and that our class is like a leap of leopards.  We had a great day, and met a lot of people that help us at school.

       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
