Week At A Glance

November 9-13, 2026

This week we are learning more letter sounds and will continue to blend and segment words. We will start talking about traditions this week. Every family has traditions for holidays, bedtimes, mealtimes and more. This week we will start having parents come join us to talk about family traditions. You just come and tell us something that your family does that is a tradition. I love hearing about all the different things you are doing with your family. THANK YOU to those that have already signed up to share. If you would like to share there is still space and we would love to have you. There is a link in the email to sign up!

Next week (November 16-20) is red ribbon week at our school. An email came home from Mrs. Clark about the dress up days. Monday is wear red day, Tuesday wear comfy clothes or pajamas, Wednesday is dress for a hike day, Thursday is dress like a tourist day and Friday is wear your Larsen shirt or school colors day.

The first list of sight words came home today. Help your student practice the words on the list. When they can read the words without hesitation initial the list and send it back to school. There are 5 lists (50 words total) that we will work on this whole year, if your student has a hard time with this first set, do not despair! This is an ongoing thing we will be working on for the rest of the year. Thanks for your help!

As is gets colder, please remember to dress your child for the weather. We will be going outside most days for recess. If you are having trouble getting warm things for your child, please let me know and I can help. Also, if you are in need of help for the holiday season, please let me know ASAP. There are a lot of resources available to help if you need it.

Remember to keep reading! Thanks for reading and for sending calendars back! 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 bag 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!
