Week At A Glance

October 26-30, 2026

This week we are learning more letter sounds and will continue to blend and segment words. We are learning more about pumpkins and even doing some Halloween math! This is such a fun week at our school!

Halloween is a big deal at our school. Our staff will spend most of Thursday night transforming our school into a Halloween surprise for the students. Fox 13 news will be here Halloween morning, you can check out the news if you want an early peek. We will have a costume parade that afternoon at 3:10. To catch our parade, find a place outside in the field east of our school (the field by the "big kid" playground). Kindergarten is first, and our class gets to lead the parade! After the bell rings at 3:30 we will clear the building of students and get ready for our family engagement activity. The doors will reopen at 3:45 and will be open until 5:00 for families to see the building and to trick or treat through the school for treats and a book. It's such a fun afternoon, let me know if you have any questions.

We will have a class party and will be trick or treating at the Legacy House (a retirement home in our community) on Halloween too. Students can wear their costumes to school that day. Please keep in mind that costumes should follow our safe schools policies. This means that masks can not be worn (but they can be brought to show our class) and that costumes should not include a weapon of any kind. If you have questions about costumes, please let me know.

Remember to keep reading! Our class won the most minutes for kindergarten reading, so 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 books in your child's bag each night. Read them and put them back and they will get two more when they bring the first two back. Write the minutes down on the reading calendar, along with any other minutes you spend reading to your child 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!
