Week At A Glance

April 13-17, 2026 

Welcome back! I hope that you all had a lovely spring break! It's crazy that our year is quickly ticking away. This is such a fun, busy time in kindergarten. We are getting to be such great readers and writers, and we have learned so much about getting along and how to be good friends. We will be learning about animals in preparation for our upcoming trip to the zoo. Our playhouse has turned in to a vet's office, which has already been a lot of fun.

April 23 is our Hogle Zoo field trip. If you would like to go to the zoo with us, please sign up in the office. Students are free to the zoo, but the cost for chaperones is $12.00 (which is a lot less than if you paid at the zoo).  This needs to be paid to the office.  We have a limited number of chaperone spots to ride the bus, so it would be best if you could drive or carpool. Also, when you are making your decision, please remember that in order to ensure the safety of our kindergarteners, we ask that no siblings or other small children come with chaperones. If you have questions about this policy, come talk to me, I would be happy to explain our decision.  We will take lunch to the zoo, if you did not order a school lunch for your child, you will need to send one from home that day.

 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. 

Just a heads up for a day to come. Kindergarten graduation will be the last day of school, May 21. Watch for more information coming soon.

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. I did not send April reading calendars home, because their reading calendar this month is the Fiesta Days reading challenge (yellow paper). Let me know if you have any questions about that.

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.eduTHANK YOU!
