Week At A Glance

September 21-25, 2026

This week we will learn a few more letter sounds. Our reading program starts by focusing on letter sounds first, and then adds letter names later. We are also learning about our five senses, and how we use them to learn more about the world.

A note about reflections went home last week. This is an art contest that your child can participate in, but needs to be done at home. Let me know if you have any questions. Everyone who participates gets to go to an ice cream party!

Next Monday is also school picture day. Picture information is in folders today. Every child will get their picture taken that day for our class picture, whether or not you are ordering pictures. If you have any questions, let me know.

Just a little heads up in case it comes up at home. Our class tortoise Murray died last week. I just talked to them about it this morning. It took me a few days to decide what to do about all of it, but I decided telling them the truth in an age appropriate way was the best thing to do. We do have a new tortoise in our classroom this morning, but he doesn’t have a name yet. Let me know if you have concerns or questions about all of this.

Remember to keep reading! Our reading goal is to read to and with your student for 20 minutes a day. Reading books will be coming home soon. Reading calendars are due next Thursday.

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 treat for knowing their phone number, and when they know their address, I will send a letter 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!
