Week At A Glance

February 17-20, 2026 

     Last week of post office for our class! Students will write letters to each other and then mail them at the post office. Post office workers will add a stamp and then put them in the right mail box. It's such a fun way to practice writing, letter and name recognition, and it make writing REAL, which I love. If you would like to send your child a letter, put it in an envelope and send it in their folder. I will make sure the post office workers get it to the right mail box. Next week we will start playing store. If you have EMPTY boxes or plastic jars or jugs from things that are sold at the grocery store that you could send for us to play store with you can start sending them with your child to school.

     We have been learning about the colonial times, and will start learning about our National Symbols. This is one of my favorite units, because I love our nation's symbols. Watch next week for the link to a virtual field trip of our nation's symbols that will work on any tablet or computer (and most phones). We are also spending some time this week learning about the Winter Olympics, and some of the sports that compete at the Olympics.

     Thank you for all of your help with Valentine’s Day. For the parent helpers who came to help with our party or sent things, and to all of you for helping your child fill out their Valentines-THANK YOU! I know it's a lot of work, but it's so good for them!

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. Thanks for reading the book in your child's folder 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!
