 Week At A Glance

April 20-24, 2026

     It's ZOO WEEK! This Thursday we will be going to the zoo. If your child will not be going to the zoo, please let me know so we are not calling you early on Thursday morning.  For the zoo, please make sure your child wears comfortable walking shoes (NO FLIP FLOPS) and dresses for the weather. We are hoping for 70 degree slightly cloudy weather, so cross your fingers, but it looks like it will be a chilly day at the zoo. Remember, if you didn’t order a lunch from the school, you need to send a sack lunch with your child.  Lunches will be put in a bin together, please DO NOT send back packs, bags, money, or anything else that they will have to carry (or lose). If you are signed up to chaperone, we have really limited places on the bus, so we will have you drive or carpool. Watch for an email from me if you are signed up to chaperone.

    Starting this week If your child can tie their own shoes, I have a little bell that they can put on their shoes. It's not part of kindergarten core, so we don't spend a lot of time on shoe tying at school, but it is such an important life skill, and most of them are ready to give it a try.

 Next week we will 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 next Friday, May 1 at 3:00. You are welcome to come join us that day to see our books. Also, add Kindergarten graduation to your calendar, it will be 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. This month the reading calendar is the Fiesta Days Reading Sheet. We are reading extra minutes at school because our school really want to win.

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!
